Rider fit: reaching the ground

The Royal Enfield Himalayan has a 825 mm seat; the Suzuki DR125SE sits at 820 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 Royal Enfield Himalayan and 82 cm for the Suzuki DR125SE.

That makes the Suzuki DR125SE the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Royal Enfield Himalayan gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend.
