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

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda ST1300 has a 775 mm seat; the Honda VFR750F sits at 765 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 78 cm for the Honda ST1300 and 77 cm for the Honda VFR750F.

That makes the Honda VFR750F 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 ST1300 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.
