A2 motorcycles for short people: models, solutions and tips for making the right choice<\/h1>\n

The world of A2 motorcycling is more inclusive than ever. If you’re around or under 5’6″, that doesn’t mean you have to forgo sporty or large-displacement models. Today, brands like Triumph<\/a> and Yamaha<\/a> offer tailored options, and there are clever accessories that make all the difference – especially when it comes to getting both feet safely on the ground at every stop. <\/p>\n

In this article we explore two of the most popular naked bikes for A2 riders, and offer practical tips to improve the riding experience if you are not entirely comfortable with the height of the bike.<\/p>\n

Triumph Street Triple 765 R A2: sporty DNA and limited version<\/h2>\n

With its 765 cc three-cylinder engine limited to 95 hp (the perfect base to adapt it to the A2), the Triumph Street Triple 765 R A2<\/a> is a naked that does not give up performance. It offers a maximum torque of 93 Nm and, beyond its refined engine, stands out for its technology package: traction control, ABS optimized for cornering and four riding modes (Road, Rain, Sport, Rider). <\/p>\n

In terms of ergonomics and height, seat height can be a concern for shorter riders. To soften this barrier, some users opt to change the seat or lower the suspension, although a simpler and reversible alternative is to use accessories such as Upbikers<\/a>. These devices allow you to gain up to 4 cm extra height when resting your feet, which significantly improves stability at traffic lights or slow maneuvers. <\/p>\n

Yamaha MT-09 A2: tamed aggression for the A2 license<\/h2>\n

The Yamaha MT-09<\/a> in its limited version for A2 offers the same 93 Nm torque as its full power version (119 hp), with a more progressive and controllable delivery. Despite limiting its power to 35 kW, it still maintains that rabid response characteristic of Yamaha’s MT saga, ideal for those who want strong sensations without leaving the legal framework of the A2 license. <\/p>\n

The MT-09’s design prioritizes an upright and aggressive stance, although its seat sits relatively high off the ground. So if you have difficulty getting both feet on the ground, Upbikers<\/a> can help you without having to modify original components or affect the manufacturer’s warranty. <\/p>\n
