Rider fit: reaching the ground
The KTM 990 Supermoto T has a 875 mm seat; the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+ sits at 846 mm — a 29 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 88 cm for the KTM 990 Supermoto T and 85 cm for the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX+.
