    Yes with mastering the bikes riding boots with thick insoles try the mounted bike in the showroom position your body shoulder and foot ..to ground and on the pegs.Avoid traffic initially. you can change handle bar position..scrape seat cushion(not advisable it's an extreme measure) good luck

    @ Kartikeya | I am 5'6" too.. long rides will be enjoyable in 390 as it has the power to cruise comfortably on the highway. you can easily get used to the seat height. won't be a problem.

    See old answers ...adjust handle bar height ..foot pegs..sitting posture..shoulder and elbow lean..in the showroom..we need tip of toe to control bike..start learning in a tarred road ...avoid traffic..initially ..oh buy insole to your riding boots...good luck and ride safe.
