The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Buell Blast has a 699 mm seat; the Honda CB400 Super Four sits at 755 mm — a 56 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 76 cm for the Honda CB400 Super Four.
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 CB400 Super Four 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.
