standard / default rider 183 cm
Ducati GT1000 vs Kawasaki KZ650 B1 ergonomics
Ducati GT1000 and Kawasaki KZ650 B1 have modeled posture scores within three points for the 183 cm default rider. Treat this as a planning estimate; posture preference, data confidence, and a real test sit still matter.

The modeled scores are within three points, so the result does not distinguish a higher-scoring bike. Treat the result as a planning estimate and compare each bike's geometry confidence before a real test sit.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Ducati GT1000 lists a 808 mm seat; the Kawasaki KZ650 B1 lists 810 mm, within a few millimetres of each other. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
