@ Manas | Bro or may be sis 5.3 ft means 161 cm tall and i rode the same bike with same height with ease.

Do u own gt 650? How long did u ride it for ?In what conditions did u ride it?Were u even able to land your feet on ground or did u just side steped it evertime u stopped coz i cant imagine 5.3 tall guy riding this bike. Coz i wont ride a bike if i was 5.3 only my toes would touched ground when i stopped at a light or trying to take bike reverse on my toes will be funny and hard. Handling 210 kgs + plus bike on just foot fingers is a bad idea.

Never.this bike is not for ur height i am 5.9 still honestly i have hard time handling this bike in several condition. But can lower this bike by cuting front suspension springs and chaging the stock seat for something almost no form then u can ride it but still bike cannot be used in everyday and every situation

I don’t agree with Ankit. Guy of 5.3 and above definitely ride the bike. I am 5.5 myself and can very comfortably ride gt650. I obviously cannot flat foot 🦶 but can easily manage the bike in all conditions (traffic, city, highways, hills). Being 5.9 not sure why Ankit is struggling so much with the bike.

It will be difficult. But you can try alter the seat cushioning and suspension setting. Bulu biker has a video on the same issue, type 'Short rider tips and tricks' And Bulu biker.

Yes i am 5' 5' or 164 '' but very comfortably able to handle this bike , with the one mantra one foot you keep flat foot and the other on the bike with a slight tilt on the flat foot side !
