Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Suzuki Birdie 50 has a 705 mm seat; the Yamaha QT50 Yamahopper sits at 695 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 71 cm for the Suzuki Birdie 50 and 70 cm for the Yamaha QT50 Yamahopper.
That makes the Yamaha QT50 Yamahopper the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Suzuki Birdie 50 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.
