Alleviate my fears! CRF250L
Hi All,
Today I purchased my first ever bike. This is the bike I will be learning to ride on. Reason I went with this bike is from what I can gather its a great entry level road worthy bike that isn't too tall.
BUT I think its going to be still too tall for me. Sitting on the bike I could only touch the ground with my toes 😰 Being 5'4 and 60kg it seems like a lot of bike!
I will be coached by people that have riden all their lives in a controlled manner so that's of no concern. My real worry is how I will manage the bike and its height / weight.
I'm thinking of using an aftermarket seat to drop it an inch or so and if it comes to it use a lower linkage. I know it'll affect the suspension but that's fine as I am just learning and not planning on doing anything hectic.
