The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Kawasaki W800 has a 770 mm seat; the Triumph Street Twin sits at 760 mm — a 10 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 77 cm for the Kawasaki W800 and 76 cm for the Triumph Street Twin.
That makes the Triumph Street Twin 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.
