I wear 30 size pants, and I'm 5'7". I find my Hi Bird's 35" seat height to be a hair too tall. A 34" seat height would be perfection for me and my riding style, and anything lower than 34" would be too low for comfort. My Honda CB250 has 29" seat height; and it is uncomfortable for me because of its heavy weight and wide seat. I also feel like I'm too low to the ground. I prefer the 35" seat on the Hi Bird than the 29" on the Honda. If I don't have to stop for traffic lights and stop signs (like light trail riding), I would consider going even higher, like a 37" Honda XR600, because I wouldn't have to slide my butt over much and dropping the bike on dirt is not too bad. The seat height is not a problem; it is more a hassle, especially if one is stuck in traffic jam.
