Rider fit: reaching the ground
The BMW G 650 Xcountry lists a 841 mm seat; the Kawasaki KL250 A2 lists 840 mm, within a few millimetres of each other. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
