Rattler 110 seat height
I'm drooling over this bike but have yet to see one in person (may be able to next week) but I'm wondering how it will work for the vertically challenged. I know the 08 has a redesigned seat to accommodate shorter riders. I'm only about 5'5". Think I'll be able to ride it comfortably/safely? Thanks!

The 2008 is essentially the same height for the driver. The previous models seem to be two tier--the rear of the seat rises.
I'm 5'5" with a 26" inseam (brutal trying to find jeans). At stops, I'm on my tippy toes. Not a problem, unless I have a passenger. I found the Buddy to be more comfortable, but I had to go with the feirce 2T .

I went to look at a buddy 125 today... Saw a 2008 rattler 110 sitting over in the corner all lonley... I had the dealer pull it out...
I had never seen one up close before, only in pictures. I sat on it, and I fit on it much better than a buddy. It has a flat seat which allows me to scoot alllll the way back and fit my legs in there just right! (I am 6'1) I fell in love, but then I realized it was only 110cc.
The dealer then reassured me that it would go just about, if not faster than the buddy
HooRayy!!
Waiting on the loan application to clear, then... its all mine! And, you all will have another rattler-dood all up in here!
Gottascoot!

Ahhh, youth...
Strange, but that happened to me, too, when I hit twenty-five... went from a 29" waist then, to a size 34, today. And from 124lbs wet to two-hundred four (though the last time I had a scale available, I weighed 161 or so... went to eating ramen, due to a lowered food budget, and lost over forty pounds).Evans Performance wrote:i remember 150lbs. lol. i hit 25 and the lbs starated climbing. i also got a woman that could cook at the same time
