there is a list floating around that covers the stock heights and such for the common sportbikes.

At 5'4" i find it odd that she cant find a bike like the 250 ninja or perhaps a GSXR that would be better suited height wise. I am 5'2" and can reach the ground almost flat footed with my GSXR, but I have long legs, but even a bit shorter legs should be able to tippy toe, whereas on a 250 I can actually bend my knees.

If she is without experience, 250 FTW. If she has enough to get a larger CC bike, look at something like the GSXR. Your hondas and yamahas tend to be a tad taller when seated, whereas Kawis are incredibly wide, making the reach more of an issue.
