Rider fit: reaching the ground
The BMW R80RT Mono lists a 810 mm seat; the Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS lists 815 mm — a 5 mm difference. 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.
On seat height alone, the BMW R80RT Mono has the easier modeled ground reach. Load your measurements into the simulator to compare the model, then verify both motorcycles in person.
