RRS tall rider options?
#3
Thanks for the report, Lee. I can't find any RRSes to test ride near me so I'm leaning heavily on other riders' experiences. BMW has tended to design bikes for taller riders in mind but it's unclear to me how the geometry differs from the older RSes I've owned. Sounds like if I didn't have a problem with a K1200RS then a R1200RS or R1250RS would be similar, although I'm ten years older now and with recent ortho knee surgery to repair a torn ligament I shouldn't assume.

Very interested in what your experiences are with the sport seat. It's the tallest OEM option but my concern would be comfort vs the wider non-sport options. Seargent makes a tall seat for these bikes but it's not as tall as the OEM sport, though I'm assuming (again, perhaps incorrectly) much more accommodating on longer rides.
