Hi guys.

I'm only a little short**se and I've barely got the legs to keep my ER6F up comfortably. My feet don't have enough purchase to be able to walk it backwards which means I have to get off and push :lkl

I love my ER6F to bits and don't plan to change anytime soon. But if I was... I wonder what bike I could sensibly move up to? I don't fancy a full-on racer or a low-rider cruiser type (I had a Virago a few years ago and the ER6, while not exactly a beast, knocks it into a cocked hat for speed, agility, comfort, the works.), and most of the tourers I've seen are waaaayyy too tall.

So what options exist for shorties?

HI GEOFFERS,
I TOO AM A SHORT-AR*E,THE THING IS,KAWAS AREN'T VERY SHORTIE FRIENDLY,EXCEPT CRUISERS.MY Z550 IS ONLY MARGINALLY BETTER THAN MY OLD GS1000 AS THE SEATS NARROWER.
JUST HAD A LOOK AT M&P FOR CUT DOWN SEATS,UNFORTUNATELY,THE ER6 IS NOT LISTED.YOU COULD FIND AN UPHOLSTERER WHO WOULD TAKE SOME OF THE FOAM AWAY AT THE FRONT HALF OF THE SEAT.I DID THIS MYSELF TO THE GS.
HOPE THIS HELPS.
