Noraly is a small girl too. Shes a pro rider though. Used to much bigger bikes than the Himalayan she rode in India recently.
A very very good friend (my chaddi, younger bro) is 5'5" and rides a 260+ kilo Triumph Tiger.
He can only get the toes of one foot down at any one time. But you should see him throw that beast around in the mountains.
Cheers, Doc

Nicknamed the "widow maker"
My worst accident was on this bike. My roomie riding. Me sitting pillion. Went straight off the road on a curve at night (under severe influence of a heady narcotic cocktail ) at around 120+ kmph.

shukar hai we're still blessed to be hearing it, typed fresh right off your fingers, no less !

It was a 350 cc twin cylinder 2-stroke. At a time when 2 stroke technology was significantly more advanced. And a comparable 4-stroke would need to be nearly twice the capacity to match an equivalent 2-stroke for power.. a manic bike, with very scary brakes. Even though they were class leading 7 inch Twin Leadin Shoe drums (TLS).

i had a RX100 but uncle had Yamaha 350 which he never let go and even took it to banglore when he shifted there but as doc said had crappy brakes and were realtime fuel guzzlers but nothing better than black RX100 light but very agile and great sound with performance better than anything else and decent milage it then gave 32KMPL in agressive driving that was just great

100 walas always looked down on me.. unka engine Japanese tha orginal
or something !
mechanics also used to say the same thing, original rx100 ki baat hi alag thi
