Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda VF 750 C Magna lists a 711 mm seat; the Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic lists 710 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.
