Any experiences you can share with me would be greatly appreciated thanks! Used to ride an old yz400 as my tallest bike and it was doable back in the day but I'm a lot older now lol.
I have ridden a Hawk 250 (non-DLX; not sure how similar they are to each other) at 5' 7". Quite tall, but wore boots. Tip-toe at red lights. Footwear is key for us shorter guys.
