Does the Triumph Thunderbird 1600 fit you?
The Triumph Thunderbird 1600 (2009–2018) has a 700 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 70 cm — roughly 149 cm (4'11") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 64 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the Triumph Thunderbird 1600.
Riding position
As a cruiser motorcycle, the Triumph Thunderbird 1600 puts you in a relaxed, feet-forward stance. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the Triumph Thunderbird 1600 best for?
The Triumph Thunderbird 1600 is best suited to relaxed, low-seat cruising with a feet-forward stance and easy reach to the ground.
Braking & stopping distance
At 339 kg wet plus a rider, a hard stop from 100 km/h on dry tarmac takes roughly 39 m (about 1.00 g). Stopping distance is grip-limited, so it is set far more by tyres and road surface than by the bike or rider weight.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
