You're taller than me yet I have no problem with my 400EXC & 950SE on or off road?
Most offroad bikes tend to be on the light side, rarely needing you to get both feet on the ground. My partner, at 1.67m rides an R1150GS & a slightly lowered DRZ400S offroad, it's more about confidence & practice rather than overall height or leg length (more important).
Note that dirt bikes in general have longer travel but softer suspension & squat quite a bit once you're sat on them.
