Best bike for short folk (new to riding)

Honda monkey bike.,

Yeah, tall guys never understand these discussions

(And I gotta say, whenever I've been told a bike was "too tall" for me, it's always been by a tall guy--who, lets face it, has zero experience with riding a "tall" bike, because they've never had to ride anything they can't flatfoot...they can't understand how I can be perfectly comfortable on a bike when I can only get one foot down...)

BTW, the "house bug" will do it to ya.  Is this guy married?--if so, we might as well end this thread now

[Yokel]

Ha, no...  He's not married.

But he does show up about twice a month after a weekend bender telling me about this new girl he's going to take home to mom.

Hey, tall people were not always tall! Back when a Honda CB750 was a hot bike, I had to hang off on the left at stops.

@ Gnigma-

I'd say he's all of maybe 5'5"...

Thought you said he was short. My wife is 4'11" and rides a slightly lowered SV650S. Learned on a Ninja 250 and has also spent time on a stock CBR600F4i.
