I have the zx6r and am 5'6", can touch with the balls of my feet normally, but backing up really sucks especially when you step on a rock during the process. Don't want to sacrifice suspension for lowering just so i can back up comfortably...worse comes to worse I suck up my pride, get off the bike and reposition it that way.
