5’ 2”? Well a KLR is out.

Tom Cruise rode a Honda Honda CRF 250, the L model is a dual sport. :D

I’ve been too crippled to ride for going on seven years now, but my hale-and-hearty friends are all riding KTM four-strokes.

Yup…I am six foot. The KLR was fine. My BMW Adventure was too tall and I changed out the seat.

Honestly, the best thing to do is spend a day or two going to shops and sitting on them. THAT it’s the only way you are going to really find a good fit.

Being of small stature, you can “get away” with a much smaller bike (250-350cc) for tooling around towns. But at those sizes, driving on a highway is going to be a stretch. My KLR really topped out at 60 mph when it was loaded. My BMW 1200 was a joy to ride on long stretches (once I got a new seat.)

If you aren’t going to do dirt riding, you might want to look at some of the other street bikes that are not crotch rockets.

I miss riding…
