Rider fit: reaching the ground

The BMW R 1250 R lists a 820 mm seat; the Husqvarna Motorcycles Svartpilen 401 lists 820 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.
