Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Yamaha XT200 lists a 815 mm seat; the Yamaha XT225 lists 810 mm — a 5 mm difference. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
On seat height alone, the Yamaha XT225 has the easier modeled ground reach. Load your measurements into the simulator to compare the model, then verify both motorcycles in person.
