Hypothetical shortening question

RSR racer · Jul 29, 2012

If one to consider a Ducati model with which to have the riding height shortened to fit a 5 foot tall woman; which model would lend itself most appropriately to this type of modification?

I posted this here as many of you have had multiple Ducati bikes and trust that someone might have valuable input.

Thanks

(yes...the wife wants her own Ducati; why should I have all of the fun?)

short inseam? My wife is 5'2" and can touch both feet down fine, which is more than she can say for her RSV4 Factory...

Definitely Monster 696. Perfect bike for beginner as well.

Yep monster 696, unless you go a couple years older, the monster 620 was issued in a womans edition which was set up specifically for women.

696 with the Sargent seat which lowers it another inch. That would be perfect.

Redline Performance Motorsports in Yorktown, VA tries have one configured lowered on their showroom floor. Give them a call or check the web site at redlinemotors.com

Have your wife sit on it with the shorten seat. My wife is 5.1 and can stand on the balls of her feet with the shorter seat. No other shortening required
