Honda XL125R vs Suzuki TS185ER ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda XL125R has a 840 mm seat; the Suzuki TS185ER sits at 835 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 84 cm for the Honda XL125R and 84 cm for the Suzuki TS185ER.

That makes the Suzuki TS185ER 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 XL125R 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.
