This picking a bike is killing me...

I am considering these 2

and

Ok now I know prices or too close to bicker about.....

My biggest worry is the size.... I am short.... I am 5' 8" and weigh 140

I have sat on a Yamaha XT250 ....it has a 31.9" (lets say 32")seat height

I was tip toed on it and would have been a comfortable ride for me....

I have a 30" inseam...

I am afraid that anything larger would be uncomfortable ride ...

I don't want to teeter totter at a red light....too embarrassing....

The Gy5 looks huge..... the Roketa has a lower seat....and I think it may be comfortable...

The gy5 seems to be more popular...

The Roketa looks cool too...

I don't wanna buy one and then find out I am too short to be comfortable on one at a stop sign....

Am I making sense?

Please help .....

Tagging is another thing I am worried about....But I am in Alabama and the DMV is not too strict around here...I hope...
