Rider fit: reaching the ground
The MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS has a 830 mm seat; the Yamaha TDM900 sits at 825 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 83 cm for the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS and 83 cm for the Yamaha TDM900.
That makes the Yamaha TDM900 the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso SCS gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
