The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Honda Grom ABS has a 762 mm seat; the Kawasaki W800 sits at 770 mm — a 8 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 76 cm for the Honda Grom ABS and 77 cm for the Kawasaki W800.
That makes the Honda Grom ABS the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Kawasaki W800 gives taller riders more legroom and a more open knee bend. Load your own height and inseam into the simulator to see exactly how each one fits you.
