I have a friend we ride with who is, "height challenged", though not as bad as you! He kinda slides off the bike so his thigh in on the seat, or finds a tree to hold him up. He rund a CRF 450.
You can have the bike lowered, but if you ever plan on selling it, forget it. It'll cost a good penny also.
You can lower the forks in the clamps, set your sag a low as you can get it and still have a good turning KTM with a nice suspension.
I did this with my son, I got him a TTR 125 and it was a tad too big when we got it. I lowered it and he ran it fine.
Good luck!! Have fun!

Wow! Where did that tree come from????
Holy cow Bat man! that's sooooo cool, look, at the way my arm bends now!
