    Hi,

    I am currently trying to choose between the 2023 speed twin 900 or the 1200. Anyone here with a height of 165cm owns a 1200? Would like to know how is the bike for short riders.

    Welcome from the USA.

    Buy the bigger bike and wear high heels.

    Hi and welcome. I have owed both the street twin and speed twin and not had a problem with the seat height on either bike. I’m a 29/30” inside leg.

    Hi there! Welcome to the forum! ;)
    The official height difference is 3,4 cm. If possible take the 1200. You will get more fun and a bigger fuel tank too! 14,5 vs 12 litres.
