for the not so tall riders

[luvmy68]

r.borders:  Don't worry about the 240.  I'm only 5'4" and I had no issues with the 240 over the 210 and I've had both Metzler and Avon on my scoot (get the Avon, it's much better and lasts much longer).

I did a lot to make Ruby the most comfortable for me (lowering kit, custom seat, aftermarket risers, bar roll-back).  I pity the big guy who wants to throw a leg over her but they say you make it your own, right?  Ruby is 100% mine and I couldn't be happier with the Raider.

I am 5' 8 "+ have original suspension a 240 rear tire and Ultimate seats which put me little higher than stock and I am still flat footed when stopped.

... but.... you gotta admit.... your platform shoes do help!

I'm 5'4", 230.. what you might call a "meatball".  I've got mine lowered but not all the way and I have no issues flat footing on all but the most off camber stop light roads.  Also backing up is no big deal which was a big deal with my sport bike years ago.

I think it's all in the body composition. I'm 5'10 with the 34" inseam that is I have a short torso so I was leaning forward.

I'm 5'8.5" and my legs are on the short side, and I don't have a problem putting my feet flat on the ground while on the Raider.  When I first saw it I thought it was too big for me, but the salesperson was smart and held the bike vertical and let me sit on it as if I was riding and it was surprisingly comfortable (all stock).  It didn't feel much bigger than my 800cc bike I had prior.

If you change out the handlebars and seat the Raider can fit almost anyone

Yep, I'm 5'6" with a 28" inseam, and I'm getting along just fine. I'd like to put a 240 tire on it, but I think that would raise me off the ground just a hair too much...

Slam it.  Then it's looks double bad ass.

So true Dan, so true. 

I've done a lot of modding to get the ride just the way I want it.  I had the seat custom made by Mean City Cycles (great improvement in ride comfort as well), slammed it (although I've stiffened the spring since then raising it back up some), rolled the handlebars (great idea for the shorter-armed riders like me), put on different risers (also helped to bring the bars back) and changed the pegs out for ones with stirrups (shorter legs mean feet are more in the wind - stirrups help).  It all added up to one unbelievably comfortable ride for a short guy (Dan knows this to be true).

And being 6'2" from fingertip to fingertip when standing spread eagle helps to.  Having gorilla chest and arms helps immensely in reaching the bars and sitting comfortably, I can pickup a penny on the floor without bending over.
