The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Suzuki DR125SM has a 836 mm seat; the Yamaha XT 125X sits at 831 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 84 cm for the Suzuki DR125SM and 83 cm for the Yamaha XT 125X.
That makes the Yamaha XT 125X 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 DR125SM 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.
