sport-touring / default rider 183 cm
Honda VFR800 vs Yamaha GTS1000 ergonomics
Honda VFR800 and Yamaha GTS1000 have modeled posture scores within three points for the 183 cm default rider. Treat this as a planning estimate; posture preference, data confidence, and a real test sit still matter.

The modeled scores are within three points, so the result does not distinguish a higher-scoring bike. Treat the result as a planning estimate and compare each bike's geometry confidence before a real test sit.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda VFR800 lists a 789 mm seat; the Yamaha GTS1000 lists 787 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.
