Is the Harley-Davidson Street Rod good for beginners?

The Harley-Davidson Street Rod makes ~70 hp (approx) @ 8750 rpm, so it is more bike than most riders want as a first motorcycle. It can be a great second bike once you have experience, and some markets sell a restricted version.

Is the Harley-Davidson Street Rod good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 765mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Harley-Davidson Street Rod good for touring?

The Harley-Davidson Street Rod's 13.1L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
