what is the seat height of the ZZR???


About 780mm if I recall correctly (I'm going to ignore the waaaaaaaaay off-topic posts in this thread as this is a family forum) :shock:

There aren't many bikes under 800mm over 250cc. The FZ-6 is 795mm, as is the GS500E (which I can sit on fine, but it's a crap bike). The Suzuki compressed a fair bit when I sat on it.

I can nearly flat foot my ZZR, but if they can get a ZX-636 down to my height range, sign me up :D

In the bikes own weight the front should drop about 10 to 15mm and the rear about 5 to 10mm. When you sit on it both should drop about 30 to 35mm (depending on what sort of riding)... this is from fully extended dimensions...

I'm back............
from Brighton Kwaka
and low seats since the demise of the ZZR600 are at a premium!
even on a couple I struggled..ZRX1200 is tall

most of the seat heights are around 800-830mm
the dealers will help with dropping front forks and maybe rears
and seat resculpting (is getting hard coz the seats are little)
the older bikes.....ZXr750 Gpx750 Zr7s...have
lower seats as does the ZZR.....
so no
there is no easy answer...
the japanese think white Caucasians are all mina's height ......

it was nice being able to sit on all these new bikes.....
but no rides...... :cry:
oh
and I have a new BT45r on the rear on the Gpx now
all i gotta do is scrub it in.....
do I hear a ride coming up....
this weekend!
GOTTA LUV the 12R!!
