Height From Foot Peg Seat On GSX-R400

Raven · Post by **Raven** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 1:10 pm

I'm looking at building a fighter, possibly using a GSX-R400 frame as the basis. I would be very greatful if someone could tell me the measurement from the footpeg up to the side of the seat.

I currently have a CBR400 and now I'm used to riding her I'm finding the riding position cramped for my 31" inside leg measurement

and so am looking for my next bike to have slightly more 'leg room'

Thanks in advance for any help :D

In that case, I suggest you probably need to look elsewhere. My 29" legs are just right for the gixxer! If you're a heavy lad, then you may find the suspension compression compounds the problem.

I agree with Jaicen, I'm 6ft and I feel quite cramped on the GSXR.

Apologies for the presumptions

Seconded!

The trouble with bikes from an ergonomics standpoint, is that they're designed for men by men. You may have a 31" leg, so the pegs will be cramped, but that means that the remainder of your 5.4" is top half, so it's a stretch to the bars. Lose lose situation really!
