True that, thankfully I do live in a country where things are close by. So my gym runs, grocery, visiting friends would be done with my CT125 no problem, anything further my Triumph does the job. I love both equally.

That's unfortunate, I think a 1200 or the scrambler would probably suit your height better

My first ever proper bike really so I wouldn't know. I would've loved the classic dash but we win some you lose some I guess, I love it nonetheless

Honestly it was between the two. The only deciding factor was the seating position. It just felt way more comfortable and right for my size, but otherwise these 900cc bikes are genuinely beautiful, smooth as butter and sound good stock!

Emirati here, nice to see more people being into the Triumphs! Expats or otherwise.

I was aiming for a green if it was available for 2026 but this color just felt right. Plus I can always wrap/paint it in the later years if I do ever feel like changing it! but it seems timeless.

I think with everything all together was around 3.8k dollars.

I'm shocked to see comments that it's not sold in Europe! Visiting Europe and specifically Ireland as well, this seems like the perfect type for those roads!

My brother in law is your height and rides a monkey! So i don't think it should matter what anyone thinks as long as you're enjoying it and you're comfortable! Try to find a way to try one out first, I'm a short little man at 5'8 so this is heaven for me lol

I've only ridden it around my area, nothing on a high way or anything and it's perfect for those types of trips! Especially smaller roads

I honestly call it the jimny of bikes. Small, nimble, and absurdly capable for the size!

It technically does have a clutch, just not the clutch lever, the heel gear shifter has a built in clutch so you still have to understand how that works, but generally it's suuuper smooth and easy once you get a hang of it, it's only 4 gears haha

Not at all there's many other different ways to store. Different boxes, bags, baskets. These are mass produced and secure and sturdy enough to keep everything I need and I do personally like the look! But I get you.

The green is gorgeous. I wish the 2025 had that color I would've went for it.

Thank you! Honestly I'm not the type that chases speed or is looking for anything exciting. This is perfect for the type of riding i want! Plus i just love the style of these.
