4. Seat Height

As a new rider, one of the things to keep in mind is the seat height and how it reflects on your inseam. When you reach a point where you need to stop and put a foot or both feet down, the seat height will need to accommodate the length of your legs. If the seat height is too tall, a shorter inseam will require you to lean the motorcycle over just to be able to put a foot down or possibly have to stand on your tiptoes to keep the motorcycle upright and stable. On the opposite side, a shorter motorcycle and a longer inseam may also be uncomfortable because it’s almost too easy to touch the ground. Finding the balance of seat height and inseam length is needed, and most likely they need to stay within a few inches of each other for a rider to feel comfortable with stopping and standing.
