Yes and no. Some of our vertically challenged would be between a rock and a hard place. They would finally have a standard bike but really be uneasy with the tippy toe syndrome. Having the option of raising the front forks an inch and lowering the rear an inch would negate a taller seat. A 5ft 4in person can easily live with a GZ wearing decent protective footwear with a thicker soul and be a flat footer at stops. Uneven road conditions would be the problem. Stopping on the crown of the road between the tire tracks can be a hazard.
I suppose we could talk this to death for a long time if we decide to. The bottom line is buy what fits or modify until it fits. The other option is a sidecar rig with a much larger displacement engine.
