Sticky this thread!!!
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Now we need one that does the "actual seat height" based on how wide the seat is, and the angle of the sides etc etc etc.

Hehehe, sorry I had to.

Or how comfortable a certain size rider would fit on each (depending on leg size, example; I have a bigger upper chest and rather shorter legs)

It's hard to believe that I lasted as long as I did when I rode our Yamaha FZ6 (I only have a 28" inseam). Thank goodness for my Meanstreak!!

The last bike I sold we just put a lowering kit on it (Kawasaki 800) for the lady around 5’6 and she loved it. I just changed my stock seat out for a single Mustang seat and it brought me up less then inch but not enough that it changed my footing or control. I tell people that it is best to have your feet flat when you stop not on your tip toes, yep I have seen them at stop lights leaning to one side.
