Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Harley-Davidson Iron 883 lists a 760 mm seat; the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 lists 765 mm — a 5 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 Iron 883 has the easier modeled ground reach. Load your measurements into the simulator to compare the model, then verify both motorcycles in person.
