At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Vespa GTV 250IE, with a moderate knee angle of around 100 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: estimated (wheelbase estimated from this category's typical bike, not this model's own spec).
