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 ST has a 805 mm seat; the Honda NC750X sits at 800 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 81 cm for the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST and 80 cm for the Honda NC750X.

That makes the Honda NC750X the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST 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.
