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 Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide 3 Limited lists a 693 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic lists 699 mm — a 6 mm difference. 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.
On seat height alone, the Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide 3 Limited has the easier modeled ground reach. Load your measurements into the simulator to compare the model, then verify both motorcycles in person.
