Honda XR400R vs Kawasaki KDX175 ergonomics

Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Honda XR400R has a 930 mm seat; the Kawasaki KDX175 sits at 935 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 93 cm for the Honda XR400R and 94 cm for the Kawasaki KDX175.

That makes the Honda XR400R the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Kawasaki KDX175 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.
