Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Kawasaki KLX140R F has a 861 mm seat; the Yamaha TT-R 225 sits at 869 mm — a 8 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 86 cm for the Kawasaki KLX140R F and 87 cm for the Yamaha TT-R 225.
That makes the Kawasaki KLX140R F the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Yamaha TT-R 225 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
