ZX12 Girl is not any wheres near 5-10. When she threw a leg over my 12 in Seattle early this year she was on her tip toes as I recall! But I'm sure she has no issues on a lowered and strapped 12. The seat ht. of the 12 is considerably higher then a busa.

My g/f is 5'8 and rides my 12 all the time....she has to, I like taking the 600 throught the twisties, it handles much better than the 12. The 600 does fit her much better though, she is much more comfortable on that than the 12.

Peggy is also 5'8" about 130 and is afraid of dropping the 12. Totally at home on the 250 Ninja (Like you), the smaller bike is fun! I plan to put a "Real" Shock (one that has spring rate and at least rebound control) on it and a set of front springs that do not sag 1.5" UNLOADED!

Pierre & His wife had it for a week in Daytona and I could not get it away from them  It is a great in town bike! We rode it double for an entier week at Daytona and Spanked a few Harleys! while a friend of mine rode my ZX11! My leg was still healing and I had to be careful!

i was never a fan of the ZX 11, it just never appealed to me. I met a friend of mine in Daytona one year he was riding a ZX 11, he rode my 12 for about an hour, and I rode his, I got my bike back and a month later he was riding a 12 also....
