honda nighthawk
Can someone who is 5′1″ comfortable ride a Honda Nighthawk, or am I too short?

I really like the way they look, but haven’t been able to find one around town to sit on and test it out. I found some specs online about the seat height for a Nighthawk 250cc and they said the seat height is about 29.3 inches. They also said that the ground clearance was 6.?” inches. Do I have to add these two heights together to get the actual seat height of the bike? Or is 29.3″ from the ground to seat?

The seat height includes the ground clearance. You should be able to put your foot flat on the ground.
If this is a chain or belt drive you can add “dog-bones” to lower the seat about 2″ Easy with simple tools.
Lowering the bike will also lower the center of gravity for easier handling.
