At 838mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 500R, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec). Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
