Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda CB400 Super Four has a 755 mm seat; the Kawasaki W230 ABS sits at 745 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 76 cm for the Honda CB400 Super Four and 75 cm for the Kawasaki W230 ABS.
That makes the Kawasaki W230 ABS the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Honda CB400 Super Four 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.
