Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory has a 845 mm seat; the Ducati Panigale V2 sits at 840 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 85 cm for the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory and 84 cm for the Ducati Panigale V2.
That makes the Ducati Panigale V2 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
