The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The CFMoto 450SS has a 795 mm seat; the Kawasaki ZX-7R sits at 790 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 80 cm for the CFMoto 450SS and 79 cm for the Kawasaki ZX-7R.
That makes the Kawasaki ZX-7R 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 450SS 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.
