Nobody I know over 5"0" has ever said they'd lower a sportsbike bike again.
I know Girls that ride 675 Daytonas, R6's and 1000's that are shorter and can ride circles around most ppl.
You don't ride with your feet down,
Practice stopping and keeping feet on pegs, or slow speed riding.
Ride a dirtbike and you'll see.
lowering seriously upsets the geometry handling and clearance, even a 10mm suspension change is drastic.
Kinda makes the whole idea of buying a sportsbike a moot point when a Virago 250 would do better if its that bad.
*Flame suit on, im from a different rider training culture.
