Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda XL650V Transalp lists a 843 mm seat; the Moto Morini X-Cape 1200 lists 841 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.
