The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CRF150R Expert has a 866 mm seat; the Suzuki RM85L sits at 875 mm — a 9 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 87 cm for the Honda CRF150R Expert and 88 cm for the Suzuki RM85L.

That makes the Honda CRF150R Expert the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Suzuki RM85L 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.
