I agree. I'm 5'-7" and my Hawk is just right (dialed in). I just acquired an
'83 V45 Magna for my B.F. and it's comfortable for me too. Nice and low those
Magnas. HotrodMamma.

Honda is not known for building low bikes. The Rebel 250 was very low..
I had a V30 Magna that had a low seat height. I'm afraid you're going to go on
a quest, trying on bikes. Good luck. My buddy Rob is 5' 3" and rides a V-Max.
Likes it a ton.

I do not have any experience with them, so you may have to research
the reliability aspect, but check out the Buell Blast. I have sat on
a few and if I remember right they are shorter. I believe they also
offer two different seat heights. Kind of similar in styling and
riding position to the NIghthawk. I want to say it is a 500, but it
may be a little under that. Not too many bikes out there anymore that
have the nice neutral riding position of the Nighthawk. Everything
seems to have you leaning way back or way forward. Good luck!
