Default New here and I'm short!!

Hey guys I'm new here. Name is Dennis. I love the way the cbr looks. In 2010 I had a 2006 gsxr 600 and loved it. I love the gsxr but I love the cbr too. I want a cbr 1000rr now and not anything older than 04. Can anybody tell me and good or bad things about the bike. I am currently looking for one. Oh I am only 5'6" which sucks!! lol So is anybody my size with a cbr 1000? Thanks guys and sorry if I did something wrong

Welcome aboard Dennis!

By researching & asking questions in the 1000RR section, you'll get more productive answers...as many members don't frequent the new member area.

As for being short & the challenge that poses w/ riding, there are others here in your situation that can give you tips to help...such as lowering the bike, etc.

Good to have you w/ us.

I'm "vertically challenged", 5'4" and ride a 96 F3. A 04+ 1000RR isn't that much taller in seat height and weight(I have a steel chassis). I recommend ride till it gets second nature, you'll get the hang if inclines and declines in roads, I sure did. Just ride.
