Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low has a 650 mm seat; the Indian Motorcycle Pursuit Elite sits at 672 mm — a 22 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 65 cm for the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low and 67 cm for the Indian Motorcycle Pursuit Elite.

That makes the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Indian Motorcycle Pursuit Elite gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
