Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda CRF300L Rally has a 894 mm seat; the SWM RS 650 R sits at 900 mm — a 6 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 89 cm for the Honda CRF300L Rally and 90 cm for the SWM RS 650 R.
That makes the Honda CRF300L Rally the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the SWM RS 650 R 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.
