    Hi, as I mentioned in my last post I’m after a tiger sport 800. I’m 5’7 and the seat height is 835mm. Does anyone have a tiger sport that’s the same height and is the lowered seat enough?
    Thanks PJ

    Hi and welcome! I have only sat on the Tiger Sport 800 and found it absolutely fine to lift off the stand etc at standard height as it's narrow. I'm 5ft 4 on a good day but do have fairly long legs for my height at around 31". Have you sat on the standard height model to see what you think, you might be surprised? I couldn't flat foot it, but I can't flat foot much at all!

    Yes you can lower the bikes by seat or linkages to help.

    I’m 5’6 with a 29” inside leg.
    I have a Tiger Sport 800 with the low seat and it’s manageable for me.
    I can’t flat foot it, but I’m not too far off

    I have a 900 gt pro and don’t have any problems with the standard seat height. I have a 29” inside leg.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply to my post, that’s a great help knowing the low seat makes it more manageable.
    I have sat on a standard one, and I was on the balls of my feet. I did think the seat would help but nice to have it confirmed.
    Thanks
    PJ
