How so? It falls within the Equipment of Vehicles section of the Vehicle Code (Division 12, Chapter 5, Article 7).

I'm 5'1 with maybe a 28in inseam.

(street) Monster - toes are down

(track) R6 - one foot

(dirt) RM - toes although it's time for me to raise the rear, so it'll be back to one footing

Why don't I 'lower' my bike? Why do I need to? The bike handles the way i want it to and I ride and stop just fine.
 
Chit I'll take the beer !!

On the 748 after raising the rear 1 inch ,,, both feet flat ..
on the 749 after raising the rear 1 inch ,,, same as above and knees slightly bent
 
I would have to stick to EX250's and pocket bikes if flatfooting was a requirement. When I'm in my high heels, I can flatfoot. You get used to it though. My 675 is a tall bike and it can get hairy on a slope or gravel but I can live with it. Besides, all bikes are equal once the feet are on the pegs. If you're spending a lot of time flatfooting, then you need to find some better roads.

Perhaps the real solution is that bike manufacturers should consider offering bikes that are better suited the female riders. They make gear for female riders, so why not bikes that are better suited for them?

They already do. They're called EX250's. :twofinger

Liar, you can drag knee with your bike still on the kickstand. :hand





:laughing
 
What, no yes but I'd be fine on one response?

All of my bikes have been pretty normal height. I've ridden a KTM dual sport before, and couldn't flatfoot that. I was still fine.
 
Nope:blush

I'm going to lower my suspension 3-4" and shave off about 3-4" on my seat. I'm currently wearing boots with 3" soles. All this work for a 250:cry

Did you grow up in Asia? That would be like squatting on 2 planks over a barrel in a countryside outhouse. Brings me back fond memories. :laughing
