Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Ducati Hypermotard 796 has a 825 mm seat; the Kawasaki D-Tracker 125 sits at 805 mm — a 20 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 83 cm for the Ducati Hypermotard 796 and 81 cm for the Kawasaki D-Tracker 125.
That makes the Kawasaki D-Tracker 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 Hypermotard 796 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
