The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Ducati 250 Mach 1 has a 760 mm seat; the Hanway Blackcafe 125 sits at 720 mm — a 40 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 76 cm for the Ducati 250 Mach 1 and 72 cm for the Hanway Blackcafe 125.
That makes the Hanway Blackcafe 125 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Ducati 250 Mach 1 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.
