Is the Triumph Bonneville T120 good for beginners?

The Triumph Bonneville T120 makes 80 PS (79 hp) @ 6550 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 Triumph Bonneville T120 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 790mm 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.

The Triumph Bonneville T120's 14.5L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
