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 Electra Glide Standard lists a 680 mm seat; the Harley-Davidson Road King Classic lists 683 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.
