At least you can laugh at them as you pass them in second. Also have you thought of getting a Corbin seat that will give you a lower ride position.

I'm 6'4" and ride a ZX-11

Oh yeah. Way out of my price range too but keep an eye on E-bay you never know.

A mate of mine shaved the seat for him mum as she was too short to reach the floor on her XJ-600. Maybe another option for you.

Yea I was going to say shaving is an option with a low budget. Lowering links is an option as well, just don't jack up the geometry

Being too short can be a bad thing. I remember 3 short guys on big bikes pulling out of a gas station, coming to a stop before hitting the road. The shortest guy went to put his foot down, and didnt judge the slight slope very well. He dumped his bike and caused a domino effect knocking over all 3 bikes. I was laughing my ass off

If you'r on your tippy toes at a stop (letting gravity tip over your bike until your foot hits the ground every time will eventually lead to laying it down), I'd seriously consider lowering your bike.
