dual-sport / default rider 183 cm
Kawasaki KLR650 vs Suzuki DR350S ergonomics
Kawasaki KLR650 and Suzuki DR350S 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 Kawasaki KLR650 lists a 889 mm seat; the Suzuki DR350S lists 889 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.
