Pros and cons
Advantages
Accessible seat height
The 790 mm seat can make footing at stops easier for riders who prefer a lower perch.
Suspension travel
With 130 mm of front travel and 106 mm at the rear, the suspension has room to absorb bumps in the road.
Things to consider
Weight at low speeds
At 217 kg wet, the W 800 takes more effort to maneuver in parking lots and tight spaces.
Rear drum brake
The 160 mm rear drum provides less braking capability under hard use than a disc brake.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
