WHAT TO DO!!!!

[Screendmon]

I have been obsessing over an 01 S3 now for quite some time. I finally test rode it two weeks ago when the weather got nice. Then it has been crappie out since. Well it is going to be nice the next couple days and the dealer wants me to bring my Sportster out so he can give me a trade-in value.

The only reason I'm a little hesitant is because Im' short (5' 5") and my inseam is close to 29" and the seat height is 31.5". When I test rode it I stopped like twice and just put down one foot flat and it seemed fine, but what about backing it up or similar situations? It was fun to ride.

ANY SHORTIES THAT CAN FILL ME IN?

The question is will I like it everyday?

It is getting close to d-day here. Maybe I'm just obsessing over nothing.

Yes mate, I`m 5`5" and have short legs, 27' inseam. I can tip-toe on my S3 and it`s a very light bike so it`s no problem. I rode a Tiger for 2 years, which was a lot harder, I could only get one foot on the floor at a time. You just learn to control the bike better at low speeds, ride it with clutch control during low speed maneuvering instead of 'paddling' which you see taller people do.

I didn't know the black one was slower. Why didn't the dealer tell me that!!

I always think it's crazy when folks won't buy the speedy cuz it might be to tall, I figure your only gonna spend about a total of 10 mins max on any ride with both your feet on the ground. Speedy's too nice to pass up for the sake of height.

Just keep drinkin your mike, you might get taller!!! :razz:

I'm 5.5 feet, just found out i'm that short thanks to yearly medical check, always figured i was around 5.7. Slammed my ego dang good.

Anyways i bought a speedy, standing still and walking back is something that you'r doing less then the riding itself so :???:
