Let me start by saying that I am 5'1" and 118#. One of the reasons I purchased my Con-V was because it was low and I could stand flat-footed. But the weight of the bike had me concerned in the event it ended up on it's side (which unfortunately happened to me while parking at work a couple weeks ago....very embarrassing). Now that my husband figured out how to put bag guards on my bike I can lift it back up without a problem. I know this isn't the standard way it is taught (which I could not make work with my bike because it is so low....the standard way, with my back to the bike, hurt my back because I had to get too low to get a good grip), however I assure you I was not using my back. I am driving the bike up with my thighs. Just an option for those ladies out there who may not otherwise be able to lift your CVO back up off the ground by yourself.
