The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Kawasaki KX112 has a 866 mm seat; the Suzuki RM85 sits at 850 mm — a 16 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 87 cm for the Kawasaki KX112 and 85 cm for the Suzuki RM85.
That makes the Suzuki RM85 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 KX112 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.
