Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda CTX1300 Deluxe lists a 734 mm seat; the Honda VT1100T Shadow ACE Tourer lists 732 mm, within a few millimetres of each other. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
