Seat Height

Hey all, new guy here.

Ive been riding for going on 40 years, my girlfriend about 3 years. We have our own street bikes (I have several). We enjoy riding as often as we can. Were looking to open our possibilities with some adventure riding.

Ive done a ton of research and because we are both vertically challenged, Im 5'8", shes 5'4" we decided Yamahas TW200 would fit us best. The TW200 has a seat height of 31.1". We found one at a dealer and both sat on it. It fit me perfectly, she was on her toes. Reading on the forums turns out the TW can easily be lowered.

I have a certain budget so have spent the last month looking for used TWs. Ones in good condition are not that plentiful in my price range. Started coming across Chinese bikes. Well within my budget for 2 NEW ones!. Found this one that all but one site says has a seat hight of 28.7"............PERFECT!

BUT.............looking at pics of this bike a seat height of 28.7 doesnt seem possible. Can anyone confirm this? Or if you have one of these bikes can you measure your seat height?

Lastly......anyone have experience with the above distributors?
