For shorter riders, is the KTM 390 Adventure’s seat height off-putting?

I’m short, although that hasn’t stopped me from learning to adapt. Stoppages were taken one foot at a time, with slight sliding off the seat as required. In fact, it has actually improved my all-round riding skills.

The 2025 model, upcoming, looks taller than ever. Interestingly, with each iteration, KTM seems to be making the bikes more suitable for the taller rider.

It's a non-issue for me. The bike's light weight makes up for the height. The taller, heavier ADV bikes are a lot easier to manage than that.

It’s an awesome single-seat design. It's a proper GP bike to ride. Certainly helps with the track day mindset.

I bet it’s actually more psychologically than physically. Because you feel more like a racer, you ride faster.

It probably saves a few pounds without a passenger seat, which is always good on the track. Every little bit helps!

I wonder if it has an influence on how you can move yourself around on the bike in corners. It might take some getting used to.

I don’t think most riders would notice the difference, but the single seat probably helps with aerodynamics.

But it’s cool; I sorta miss that I can take a passenger, y’know? Sometimes you want to be able to show off on track days!

The great thing about it is that there’s none of that, because there’s no way you can be tempted to take a passenger on this thing. Keeps it pure and focused.

I heard it changes the weight distribution just a little bit, and it helps get the front wheel up on corner exits.

I call it form over function. It looks cool, but it doesn't really provide much performance-wise.

The single-seat design also means a sleeker tail section, which could be helpful with high-speed stability.
The Bullet Trials 350 is single seat and how does that affect its practicality?

It is a deal breaker for me that it is a single seat. It's just impractical not to take my girlfriend along because I often ride with her.

I love the single-seat setup! This makes it look sleeker and it feels more nimble. It’s also a great excuse when someone asks you for a ride and you don’t want to give one.

It's a mixed bag. While the single seat is cool and fits the trials bike aesthetic it limited the bike’s versatility. I installed a custom pillion pad because I ended up having to carry a passenger.

It’s the single seat that makes this bike special. It's not a practical daily rider, it's for enthusiasts that want to appreciate the heritage of the brand and something different. If you need to haul passengers, get a different bike.

Royal Enfield missed an opportunity I think. Owners could have had the best of both worlds with a removable pillion seat. The single seat, as it is, makes it appeal to a pretty niche market.
Is the Bullet 350's single seat really impractical for most riders?
07 January 2025 11:25
I don’t love the single seat look but it’s not practical for my lifestyle. Because I ride with my girlfriend or need to carry stuff, I had to add a pillion seat. Function over form, I guess, kinda ruins the classic vibe, though.

What makes the Bullet a Bullet is the single seat. If you want practicality, buy a Splendor. That’s the whole point of owning a Bullet, after all, to be that classic, solo rider. It's not supposed to be a family hauler.
