I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam and was wondering what taller riders' experiences were with the bikes. I rode a 2003 K1200RS without any footpeg or handlebar risers in total comfort -- although that was the last bike that I'm aware of that had the handlebar design where you could position them forward or back.
I know there's OEM options for both a tall seat, as well as an even taller (but narrower) sport seat, as well as OEM foot peg lowering kit. I'd appreciate anyone's feedback who use and/or tried these mods and what you think of them.
I'm 6' with 34" inseam.
On the K1200RS I had the bars far forward and changed the seat height depending on the type of roads we were on.
On the R1200RS everything is stock.
My wife is 5'10" with 34" inseam.
On her K1200RS she had the bars halfway back and always had the seat in the high position.
On her R1200RS everything is stock.
On the 2022 RSs we ordered them with the Sport seat to see if more leg room felt better.
The Sport seat is only a $75 option so we figured it would be a cheap way to try another seat.
