Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda CL450 Scrambler has a 800 mm seat; the Kawasaki W175TR sits at 805 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 80 cm for the Honda CL450 Scrambler and 81 cm for the Kawasaki W175TR.
That makes the Honda CL450 Scrambler the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Kawasaki W175TR 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.
