The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda Super Cub 50 has a 735 mm seat; the Yamaha FS1-E sits at 740 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 74 cm for the Honda Super Cub 50 and 74 cm for the Yamaha FS1-E.
That makes the Honda Super Cub 50 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Yamaha FS1-E 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.
