Hi,

I'm new to the motorcycle scene; planning to buy by first bike. I would like the off-road capabilities of a dual-sport (to deal with rough roads and to go camping), but I'm wondering if a short guy like me - 164 cm, or 5'4.5" - can comfortably/safely ride a dual-sport, given the seat heights (which, I gather, are around 36 inches).

Can short guys ride dual-sports? Are there dual-sports built for short guys?

Or, how would a street bike fare on China's rough roads, and off-road? I hear that in rural areas, farmers take street bikes everywhere, including off-road.

Thanks

Dan
