Is the Triumph Speed Twin 1200 good for beginners?

The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 makes 100 PS (99 hp) @ 7250 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 Speed Twin 1200 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 807mm 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 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 good for touring?

The Triumph Speed Twin 1200'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.
