Hi ... What are the best bikes for a short, 5'0 woman ? I've had a Sportster 883 and it wasn't powerful enough. I feel like I need something a bit bigger but not sure what. Also, I would like to ride passengers. Thanks for any feedback.

 

The 48 special has the same seat height as the superlow 883 but gives you the 1200 motor, you would just have to add the 2 up seat and passenger pegs.
It's really something you have to go to a dealer and throw a leg over a few bikes and see how they feel to you.

 

Are you buying used or new?

 

Get a fatboy or a breakout!

 

It's not how tall you are, it's how tall your legs are! What's your inseam? There are plenty of pre-18 Dynas and Softies that have a seat height around or under 28 inches. If you want a Sporty, the 1200 is the way to go.

 

Il pretty sure you can make any bikes to fit you if you slam the suspension and wear boots.

But since you are on the sportster forum I'll say a 1200 superlow.

 

I agree, Sportster 1200 superlow if you are set on a HD. I am 5' 3", but my inseam is only 27". I can flatfoot the Superlow no problem.

any softail. I dont think a sportster would an ideal bike. Go to a dealer and take a seat.
