What motorcycle fits my height?
Enter your inseam and see which bikes you can actually flat-foot. We rank real models by how far your foot reaches the ground — accounting for the things generic calculators ignore.

Why not just use a seat-height number?
Most "motorcycle fit" calculators online compute seat height as inseam × 0.883 − ground clearance. That 0.883 constant is the LeMond formula for bicycle saddle height — a
road-cycling number relabeled "motorcycle." It has nothing to do with reaching the ground at a
stop, and it ignores everything that actually decides whether you can plant your feet:
- Suspension sag — the bike drops about an inch (more on soft adventure setups) the moment you sit on it.
- Seat width — a wide seat spreads your thighs, so your feet hang out wider and reach the ground later.
- Boots — riding boots add roughly an inch of effective inseam.
We model your effective reach from real seat heights and give a plain verdict per bike: both feet flat, balls of the feet, tiptoes, or too tall. When a bike is close, it flags lowering options so a near-miss isn't written off.
How to measure your inseam
Stand against a wall in socks, feet a few inches apart, and measure from the floor to your crotch. That number — not your trouser size — is what determines reach. Add your height too for a sanity check.
