Hopefully soon,  need to buy a bike and still need to figure out "How to be legal with the LTO" without waiting six months.

This Ducati looks nice but very expensive.

The Bajaj Dominar 400 seems nice I think, max Power 34.5 bhp @ 8000 rpm, max Torque 35 Nm @ 6500 rpm and ABS.
Only 160k.

Since I am shorter than you I will need something closer to the ground even more.

Looking at the picture,  it looks like u can drop the front by an inch, inch and half, (slide the shock in the clamps to just under the handle bars),  rear,  wind the spring to its softest position,   depending on ur weight, it might drop it an inch or so...
