    best bike for short rider!!

    Hello Guys,

    My friend wants to buy a motorcycle but his height is 5'2" only.
    Can you guys please suggest some bikes having on road price under 1 lakh.

    Criteria are:

    1. Should be of small seat height.
    2. Should be of below 200cc engine.

    He wants to buy a scooty but considering the rains in Guwahati and flooded roads we don't think scooty as a good option.

    Please help.

    Regards,
    Shailendra

    Query Approved

    Ask your friend to test ride the Apache, that might be the most comfortable of the lot.
    Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

      Ask him to TR the Apache twins. Perfect for his requirements. Only bone of contention is the stock tyres which he can definitely change afterwards.
      A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.

        If you want a 100cc bike, a splendor or a discover should be comfortable. Check out the honda dream series too.

        if you want a bit more power, discover 125, is light and nimble and easy to control.

        And for performance, go for RTR160, it is light and easy to maneuver in traffic.

        take test rides and then decide.
        I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

          Considering the height, Dream series from Honda should be a good choice. Not too much power, but gentle on the rider.
          Not sure if Twister is still available. I too have a friend who is 5'2" in height, he manages to drive it very easily and does not tip-toe in stop-go traffic.
