It can be lowered. I know of people not taller than 5 feet riding R6 s.
But remember to get the suspension professionally set up for your height if you do end up lowering it.Ride Safe!!

Update
Just wanted to give u guys an update on how it is on the other side of the world
so the winters are almost over and i spent so much time working on my baby this winter. I got a new HID/Halo kit, GYTR slip on and an integrated taillight. The sound is deeper and way louder. I drove it on the highway next to my house and my brothers could hear it with the windows shut :P
So far :
So far ive put about 1500 miles on it the last summer. The main thing ive learnt is. The bike is leagueS better than i am and iam not saying iam a shitty driver but it just is. I ve gained so much respect for the bike during the time ive driven it. There was never a dull moment when the throttle was on. I almost always had my mouth opening and shouting when i wacked the throttle open. The bike deserves respect. I had 2 very close calls on it. One while turning, i rolled on the throttle too much while leaning a lot and the rear spun a bit but it came back. I shat my pants so hard that time. But that instance made such a HUGE impression on me. I havent driven it very far but i do realize that after 30-40 mins on constant driving ur back does start to hurt a bit and ur arms get a lil pumped.
one think i realize now is that well even tough i love this bike, its probally not the best decision ive made. I realize now, that maybe a street fighter would have been more fun, especially since it rains a lot here. I remember my P180 with the round headlight, oh how i use to flip it from side to side without fail, but with this however it hard work, but u can be so precise with it, its unbelieveable. I do feel that if i had, say a Bking i would drive it more frequently and would certianly be fun. Now i think, if i was in India, i would defanately want something but a supersports bike. For people who are thinking of buying that R1 or a new Busa, u might not feel this now, or the 1st month of using the bike, but at some point u will realize how much more rider friendly a bking or a fazer is. This bike is more like a precise tool for engeenering majors, while something like a bking is a fun frat party for art majors.
I installed all the stuff on it myself and honestly it was so much fun. I love everything about this bike, and knowing that i worked on it and it came out good makes me even more proud of it. Personally i think the HID kid with the halos is the best mod i could do. The visibility is MASSIVELY improved plus those rings look nasty dont they ? :P plus this fit any bike, only the plates that hold the lights are custom to the r6 . so if any one back home wants to get em heres the link

Sweet mods.
Halos look amazing.
2nd your thoughts on the R6 not being a comfortable street bike. Def a track weapon.
As long as i am hitting the twisties i dont realize how uncomfortable it can get after about 2 hrs.
15K miles and counting.

Sweet man, I know slowly and slowly you start respecting your bike and then loving it. About being uncomfortable I think R6 also has some posture issues, if you get it right, you are in for tours, but if you not you can land in a big uncomfy ride. As Carlito says he has done a lot of touring on it. I may be wrong as I dont own this bike, but yes this is my dream machine

Keep this for your track-days, and get a Husky for street-riding
The only danger with that is that you might end up taking the Husky to the track too, LMAO.Last edited by vivekjayasheel; 03-21-2011, 12:03 PM.Who needs more than 70 bhp when you don't need to slow down for the corners?
