Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda Reflex 250 has a 718 mm seat; the Honda Ruckus sits at 734 mm — a 16 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 72 cm for the Honda Reflex 250 and 73 cm for the Honda Ruckus.
That makes the Honda Reflex 250 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 Ruckus 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.
