Rider fit: reaching the ground

The BMW F 900 XR has a 825 mm seat; the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS sits at 830 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 83 cm for the BMW F 900 XR and 83 cm for the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS.

That makes the BMW F 900 XR the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS 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.
