I'm 5'6" and I owned an FZ1-N for about four and a half years, having bought it new in 2010. I've actually just traded it in against a Ducati Scrambler, which I should be able to pick up next week. I loved my FZ1 and could manage the weight and size - I took it to France on the ferry twice. I never dropped it, though I was quite cautious on gravel, etc. However, for me (I'm no youngster), ultimately I just wanted something that was more within my comfort zone. Hence the Scrambler, which has an inch lower seat height and is 77 pounds lighter than my ABS FZ1 was.
