The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The CFMoto 300SS has a 780 mm seat; the Kawasaki Ninja 250R sits at 775 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 78 cm for the CFMoto 300SS and 78 cm for the Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
That makes the Kawasaki Ninja 250R the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the CFMoto 300SS 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.
