The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Benelli 502C has a 760 mm seat; the Ducati XDiavel sits at 755 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 76 cm for the Benelli 502C and 76 cm for the Ducati XDiavel.
That makes the Ducati XDiavel the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Benelli 502C gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
