Is The Speed 400 The Best New Triumph Motorcycle For Shorter Riders?

Ridge Roamer checks out the all new Triumph Speed 400 to see if it is a good choice for people with short legs, compared to other new bikes such as the Bonneville T100, Speed Twin 900 (previously the Street Twin), Speedmaster, and Bobber.

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I bought the speed 400 a week ago. I have a 29-in inseam and I can tell you I can easily flat foot the motorcycle. So keep that in mind if someone's reading this. If you have a 29 inch in inseam you can flat foot. Short legs are a pain in the butt. Also, don't forget the other benefits. This bike is very light. Very easy to toss around. Very easy to move around the garage. Wonderful bike. Another great benefit $5,000! Thanks again for the video 🙂

How much extra cost are the Stealerships adding to that $4,995, and $5,595? $1,000, $1,500 $1,800. Anybody know?

Are any of these higher revving so you don't have to shift so early?

[@RidgeRoamer]

The Speedmaster and Bobber are geared pretty tall. The 400s rev high, but the first couple gears are really short.

Is a small displacement bike that shorter riders can enjoy as well

Shim under bucket valve adjustment means expensive dealer serviceing no DIY friendly.

The 400 has a taller seat height over the Speed Twin 900. So, for me with a 27 inch inside leg I am on my very tip. Of my tip toes. So therefore for me, it’s no use for the shorter rider. Honda Rebel 500, I purchased as I can flat foot it.
Pity as I like the 400. 😢

Seems a no brainer to make a smaller 400. Wasted opportunity.
