Have you sat on the Honda Rebel? To me, it feels like a smaller bike. I think the seat may be skinnier, which makes it seem smaller? My friend rides one and she's only about 5ft tall and maybe 115 pounds. The stock seat height is only 26.6" which is a little bit lower.

I know you already bought the gz but maybe it's just not right for you. I'm 5'2 and I can ride it with no problem. During the MSF course they had me on the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 which felt like a toy. Maybe that bike would be better for you too?

At first I thought the gz was kinda heavy, and I kept having to correct myself when coming to a stop, like putting my foot down to keep it from falling over because I had the wheel turned slightly. Now that I concentrate hard and make sure I keep the wheel straight, the bike stops nice and easy and I can even pause for a few seconds before placing my feet on the ground. The bike is really great to handle once you get used to it and pay attention to what you're doing.

Good luck finding a bike that you love and enjoy. I love my little gz!
