Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Ducati Hypermotard V2 has a 880 mm seat; the Yamaha XT 660 R Supermotard sits at 875 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 88 cm for the Ducati Hypermotard V2 and 88 cm for the Yamaha XT 660 R Supermotard.
That makes the Yamaha XT 660 R Supermotard 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 V2 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
