I've always been into r6's and I've recently been somewhat looking to purchase. I am a on the shorter side...about 5 foot 3. I know its possible to lower it abit. Also which year has the lightest frame and all around less bulk from 99-06 models. Any advice maybe from other short people or even people in general Thanks

Mine's lowered and the handling is fine. I'm 5'4" http://www.r6.com/forum/modules/gallery/albums/Babys-First-Track-Day/smilelikeumeanit.thumb.jpg

:wink: Maybe some platform heels will help. The 70's gotta be good for something :lol:

(I wasn't there, of course! My dad told me about them :wink: )

Hey Tinks,

Any chance of a bigger picture? You know of the budding moto-journalist. So we can say we knew her before she got all famous.

er...um...no? Surely thats big enough? I need to get a new one of me with my new lid, tho - cos its a really cool lid 8)

speaking of lids....looking to get a new one myself. Any brand over another? Any website better deals? I have a HJC now and feels very heavy on neck after a while. Versus the bigger looking helmut of my friends Arai but feels like it weighs less...any comments??

We had a discussion about this two summers ago. Check out this thread (http://www.r6.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=247&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0). It starts to explain the differences between helmets and what to look for to find one that you like.

I ride with a HJC AC11 and it's superb. Got a Ride Magazine 'best buy' awrad as well over Arais and the rest.....
