Buell Blast vs Honda CB250 Nighthawk ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Buell Blast has a 699 mm seat; the Honda CB250 Nighthawk sits at 744 mm — a 45 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 70 cm for the Buell Blast and 74 cm for the Honda CB250 Nighthawk.

That makes the Buell Blast the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CB250 Nighthawk 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.
