NC750X for a shorter rider (170 cm / 5'7") – will I be able to flat-foot it?

Hi everyone,

I’m seriously considering buying a Honda NC750X, but there’s a catch – I have no way to test ride or even sit on one, because there are very few of them where I live.

I’m hoping you can help me figure out if this bike will fit me before I commit to buying one.

My measurements:

· Height: 170 cm (about 5'7")

· Inseam: 79 cm (about 31 inches)

· Weight: 73 kg (about 160 lbs)

I know the seat height is listed at 800 mm, and my main concern is whether I’ll be able to get both feet down confidently. I ride a lot in city traffic, so I’m constantly stopping at lights and putting my feet down – I’d really prefer to flat-foot or get very close to it with both feet, not just tiptoe.

So my questions for you:

  1. Based on my measurements, do you think I’ll be able to comfortably reach the ground with both feet? Will the suspension sag help enough?

  2. Have any riders around my height (or with a similar inseam) made it work without lowering the bike?

  3. If possible, could you please post a photo of yourself sitting on an NC750X while touching the ground with both feet? Seeing real-world examples of how someone my height fits on this bike would help enormously.

Thanks a lot in advance – I really appreciate any insight or advice you can share!
