A good question.
However it will depend on a few factors.
Are the tyres flat or inflated?
Is the tank full of fuel or empty?

Don't know how trustworthy it is, as the picture is an A4 but specs are for 1 1972 Z1

Richard,
That might be to the bottom of the headers as they sit below the frame tubes.

Good point Jim, mine doesn't have any headers at the moment
