HI in response to the question what may be a good dual sport bike for a 5ft.6" lass the BMW r850r r1150r could be a poss choice i bought one two years ago they have the same frame as the 1150 gs but have a lot lower seat height iv put avon distanzia dual sport tyres on so apart from a lower ground clearance its proved to be a very capable bike gravel roads grassy tracks etc makes a great alternative to the mega tall gs for maybe half the price There is also a lower seat option and as for accesories a lot of gs1150 bits fit another good point as i found out on a BMW off road course (highly recomended) if u drop one off road they only go to about 45 degrees as they rest on the pots makes picking it up again far easier
Hope this maybe of use as its just another option
