Is the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 manageable for short riders?

Despite what its spec sheet suggests, the Super Meteor 650 is a manageable machine in its own right.

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 size, weight, ease of use.

I have been contemplating pulling the trigger on the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 since it was launched but I feel at 5’2, its size and weight will prove too much for me to handle. Please advise. 

Bomi Dastur, Mumbai

Autocar India says: That bump up in weight has been playing on a lot of people’s minds, and justifiably so – 241kg is no small figure. But truth be told, it’s only during low-speed maneuvers that you really feel this heft, and even then, it’s no deal-breaker because the seat is very low and you can get your feet firmly down. So, you need to plan ahead a little and be cognisant of the weight when taking U-turns and the like. But this is a long, low motorcycle with most of the weight concentrated within the wheelbase, so it isn’t as top-heavy as an Interceptor, and it’s definitely not what you’d call cumbersome.
