My ZX-6E is 487 lbs wet (429 lbs dry weight). I am 5'3" and 110 lbs (sometimes I am up at 115 lbs). I can u-turn my E. I just had to practice until I felt more comfy with it. Getting a different bike or anything else isn't going to really help. A u-turn is a u-turn is a u-turn and until you get it down by practicing it....then you won't ever be able to safely do it.
Don't get me wrong, u-turns are not my favorite thing to do. If you practice, you will be fine.

Right on Abi
The fact of the matter is, it won't matter what bike you're riding. The key is practicing, period.

Unless you're bench pressing it, a lighter bike isn't going to make that much of a difference.

Well i was the one that had to walk the bike back to her parking spot in new hope by holding the front end.
So at that time it felt heavier than mine. :cries:
