Default Small person riding an SV650s...

Hi,

I am a fairly small female (5'1") and I'm considering getting a SV650S. I currently ride a honda vtr250, and according to the specs, the SV650S seat is about 20mm higher. It is also about 40kg heavier. I'm quite comfortable on the vtr, even though I can't put both feet on the ground, but I've been really hesitant about getting a bigger bike because it seems it would make things a lot harder. Anyone have any thoughts, or know any short people that ride SVs? Does the extra height/weight really make much difference?

Cheers,

Laura
