The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special has a 790 mm seat; the QJ Motor SVT 650 sits at 795 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 79 cm for the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special and 80 cm for the QJ Motor SVT 650.
That makes the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the QJ Motor SVT 650 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.
