I've seen the site mentioned before, the problem is that it is useless. It doesn't factor in things like shape of seats and bodywork, and other than height and inseam you can't tweak the person for weight and size.

It claims I can't even reach the ground on my 1125CR, the truth is that I flatfoot it. Healthcare.gov works better than this.

Healthcare.gov works better than this.

And at only hundreds of millions times the cost!

It seems to give a reasonable comparison between bikes. It doesn't even need all kinds of personal identifying information that claims I have no expectation of privacy with with to compare products. It does seem to be lacking in error messages though.

I didn't put my feet on ground... just used my height and inseam ... added my Uly... then added various bikes and looked for bikes fairly close to what the Uly showed.

It verified my findings when I sat on the Hyperstrada, (way too small) But the Monster 796, Street Triple, Tiger 800xc, Ducati Diavel, all fit me pretty good... slightly differently. At that site, I wasn't concerned with the feet thing so much as my arms/elbow placement and body lean.

I would never have thought to try out a Tiger Sport... and the 1290 SuperDuke has me drooling. (probably way too much bike for me) The design is growing on me.
