I'm 5'3
I sat on a '12 at the dealer ship, I was able to hold it up without too much difficulty.
Because of my diminutive height though, I've only found one SS that I feel 100% comfortable on in stock form and that's the GSXR.
Its cool cerebus. It doesnt bother me hes probably just bored but hes technically "right".
I must say though this bike is really nice. The three cylinder sounds so different and very useable power. Only thing I'm needing to get used to is the seat height. I'm short guy 5'7 and i have to tipy toe. Going to most likely shave the seat or get a low gel seat they offer and maybe some riding boots dont want to mess with the suspension yet.
I'm still leaning towards the Ninja 1k. Only thing I don't like is the bars which I'd swap with some woodcrafts.

Just do a lot of research on it.. Fairings are very labor intensive to install/remove. Exhausts pose a risk of melting the heal of passengers boot rubber. May want to pay to upgrade to a 4-2-1 exhaust - looking closely at it and reading in the forums doing my due diligence on the bike as a possible trade in, the left exhause makes chain cleaning and lubing a PITA.
Finally maint costs... Valve check every 15k miles, vs the FZ6R and the FZ1 every 26k miles.
I have not made my mind up 100% yet, but I am beginning to lean towards just keeping my bike and letting that Ninja I can get go. Save up more $ and get the FZ1 or FJR next year maybe IN ADDITION to the FZ6R, rather than inplace of, like it would need to be on the Ninja now. Ninja is a SWEET bike though, I am just not sure if all those things above are for me.
