Upgrading my KTM 390 for a triumph 850 with the low seat soon. It’s not only the best option for short riders it’s also number one on every ones list for mid size adv bikes.
@@papatorr3669 torso length has less variety than leg length - if one is short, he will have short legs regardless, but a tall person can have short legs. I have like 28'' inseam so any bike that isn't a cruiser is tall for me :F Needless to say riding motorcycle was never an issue, there's a reason why 90% of all drops are on stop xD
A friend of mine has one & he loves it. The compass still doesn't work, so if you were lost in the desert you'd be f****ed! But other than that top bike!
Very true. I had an africa twin and even with the lower seat position which makes the seat height 830mm...(not 820 like this video states) It doesn't make much difference due to the width of the seat. It's very wide and kinks(spreads) your legs out which limits the reach to the ground. Not to mention... it's a heavy machine. If it's just road riding then it's fine. But for offroad definitely not for short riders.
Bike for the shortest legs in this video, 30"(that's average guy). If you have leg inseam like me, 28"(and many ladies), Don't waste your time. They don't make bikes for you.
Yes, of course there are! Cruisers, usually they have very low height seats (too bad I don’t like them much. Unfortunately I like tourer and adv bikes) And remember that only seat height spec is not the only factor. You need to seat on a bike, the suspension lowers a bit and also depends on seat width and lower frame of the bike. I’m a little bit more than exactly 28” inseam and, of course, I feel very restricted on which bikes I can handle, specially because I’m still inexperienced and weight is also a problem for me. But now I’m looking for a new bike (I took my motorbike drivers license recently and currently I’m riding a 125cc machine) and I think I can find a machine for me. Perhaps it will not be the one I really wanted to chose but it will be fine and very enjoyable, I’m sure!
@@jonnyficationsI’m completely headed only to Japanese bikes, but I guess I have to widen my choices. I’m somewhat reluctant about other brands mainly because of the “said” reliability of that brands. Specially because I don’t understand a thing about mechanics and I’m not a very gifted person trying to repair things.
@@tpilot_error404 it reaches the speed limit just fine, no need to zip 200km/h on adv bike of all things, you rarely ever go above 120 in most places... Big engine is a nuisance in off-road, not a boon... heavy and wide is not a quality you're looking for but is inherent flaw of big engine bikes...

The Triumph 800 xr is the one for me!!! I enjoyed this...Keep up the good work young man!
Thank you for you kind words, glad you enjoyed it!

Africa Twin for short riders 🤯
820mm isn't too bad. MT07 is 805mm....
@@jonnyfications it’s 820mm?! Gee.. I got to go check some out! Thanks!
7:08 "...and I really think the only metric that counts is happiness."
Damned straight, man.
Everything else can... well... you know.
What are the measurements of what you said "Short Riders"?
I'm around 5'3" but I'd say 5'6" and below.
Thank you
Very informative bhai
LMAO, being 5'6'', even sitting on low seat variant of the Africa Twin resembles sitting on a horse... 🥺
I’m the same height. You find something that works well yet?
Leg length and torso/neck/head length make up height. Two 5'6" people could easily have different leg lengths. Which is what counts here.

Yeah a tried it , steel higher for me 🤦🏻♂️ and I've always loved Africa twin
I wouldn't ride one, far too heavy and far too high for me, but to be fair there are a lot of bikes with higher seats than that.
This is totally incomplete not showing what height for short rider should fit in every motorcycle showed .
Ok which one is missing, I try to include as much useful info as possible? If it doesn't state low seat option, then there isn't one.
Seat height given at the beginning of each bike video. You may want to consider a different sport that doesn't require a normal IQ.
XRX LOW is the best.
The Triumph 800 XRx Low was too low for me. But only because I’d drag my feet in the twisties.
So BMW is the friend of the short rider? How come? Do they position the motor differently?
I'm not sure, but BMW and Triumph have always provided plenty of options for shorter riders with low seats and/or low suspension models.
Royal Enfield Himalayan is a good choice unless you plan on lots of highway riding.

How can Africa twin be for short riders? 😅😅
Cool! 😎 thanks!
👍🤘😎
Good video bro keep it on
Thanks 🤘😎
Nice video
Thanks, I try! 🤘😎
A series of manufacturers ads, nothing more
For example honda cb 500x is good for minimum of 5'5" in height ....Not informative....
Prob not really about height, but inside leg is the defining factor. I'd say anything below 30" is on the short side.
Africa twin is not for short riders
But it could be!
@@jonnyfications agree. It alway depends on how low can you go

Triumphs are the best bet! No probs getting feet down on those with low set up 👍🏻

and where is suzuki v strom 250 ?
That would have made it 11 🤣
250 ? That is a kids bike. There should be a adv list and a dual purpose bike list. Cause just be honest how often do these adv get to see dirt ?

Is it, in which way?
Yeah it’s misleading
How is it? Short people want adventure bikes too! 🤣 🤘😎
My wife is 4'11, which would yall recommend? Just getting into the market.
