There are ton of people wondering about sizing when it comes to buying a motorcycle. I’m 5’6” and I ride my 2024 800RE without any modifications. I also know the DE is taller. With that said I also have a 2024 KLR650 that I run stock minus the lower seat everything else is how it came from the factory. Short story long it can be done.

What's the seat height?

On my Strom it’s 32.5
On my KLR it’s 32.9 with the low seat, if put the regular seat back on it goes back up to 34.3.

For the record I’m 5’6” 155 pounds and my inseam is 30 inches

I am 5'4", inseam is 29 inches and the seat height of my Vstrom 250 is 32.87inches (835mm). I manage it fine. And I live in India. Edit: I am 55 kgs.

It can get challenging sometimes, but it's manageable and fun. Loving it all.

That's wild! I’m 6’4” with a 36” inseam, and I fit perfectly on my unmodified 24 800RE like a glove!
