Ergonomics. Absolutely essential.
Doesn’t fit? Doesn’t exist!
Life for motorcyclists below or above today’s conventional standard size
hasn’t exactly gotten easier in the last few years. Where the average
seat height for a motorcycle in the Eighties was between 750 mm and 800
mm, today riders have to climb onto a seat with an average height of 800
mm to 850 mm. Your seat height on a standard R 1250 RT is between 805
and 825 mm. Even the lightest of all current BMW tourers, the F 800 GT,
brings a respectable 800 mm to the series trim.
Not long after the market launch, we are already offering high-quality
components for the new RT models: Windscreens and hand guards to protect
against wind, weather and troublesome turbulence, handlebar risers for
relaxed sitting and driving while standing, ergonomic seats with gel
insert that you can ride on forever, a functional lowering kit for the
seat, and much more besides.
