Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and returning riders thanks to its modest power, low-stress delivery, and predictable classic-bike manners.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed, style-focused riding and nostalgic weekend cruising rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA manageable, moderately low seat height and modest weight make it accessible to riders of average and smaller stature.
CharacterA charming retro roadster that emphasizes classic British-style looks, mechanical simplicity, and unhurried torque-driven riding.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting sharp acceleration, off-road capability, or serious long-distance touring comfort.

2024 Kawasaki W800 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2024 Kawasaki W800, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
