The two bikes are close enough that posture preference matters more than the overall score.
Rider fit: reaching the ground
The Kove 800X Pro has a 860 mm seat; the Yamaha XTZ660 Tenere sits at 865 mm — a 5 mm difference. As a rule of thumb you flat-foot a bike when your inseam roughly matches its seat height: about 86 cm for the Kove 800X Pro and 87 cm for the Yamaha XTZ660 Tenere.
That makes the Kove 800X Pro the easier reach to the ground — the safer pick for shorter riders or anyone who wants both feet planted at a stop — while the Yamaha XTZ660 Tenere 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.
