I'm 5'3 and I want a sport bike but they are all too tall for me. Are there any sport bikes with low seats?

I's possible, but you may have to get the bike lowered and stretched out in order for your feet to fimly be planted on the ground so you can hold the bike up comfortably. Otherwise, the bike "will" lean to one side, shfting the weight to that same side and cause the bike to fall over. I have a sister that's 5'4 and only one of her feet touched the ground. So, I knew my bike would have to be extremely lowered and maybe even stretched if she wanted to even think about riding my bike. It's possible to just have it lowered and maybe you can ride the bike, gally200. But you have to be pretty strong to hold that bike up with only one leg touching the ground. Hope I helped. let me know, will you?
