| | i'm about one inch shorter, 20 lb lighter than you are. i ride a suzuki katana 600, which is about the same weight as a nighthawk 750. i'm happy, and been having fun on my katana. you can lower the bike a bit by soften the rare strout. and/or there's lowering-kit for your bike. just get used to riding, the seat-height is not an issue. as long as you can stand still on the bike without shaking yourself, thats good enough. |

| | I to have short legs 26" inseam, and I can handle it ok. center of gravity is low on a nighthawk so you don't notice it much and you get used to it. |

| I'm 5'3", 130# female, inseam 30". The bike is a bit tall, but with thick soled boots and added cushion inside there's no problem. Backing can be a challenge at times due to the hieght of the seat. Take one out for a test ride if you can. That's the best way to get the feel for any bike. I bought mine right off the show room floor without test riding... no regrets. I've been riding Honda dirt bikes for 33 years and have never had a problem with reliability.
