1150GS for Shorties!!
I am in the final stages of deciding whether to buy a 1150GS but being only 5'7" tall can only touch the floor with my toes on both feet when seated and this, quite frankly, worries me slightly.
The salesman at BMW informs me that BMW make a seat which is 10mm lower but I am not convinced this will make much difference. Wunderlich, I believe, also do a 40mm lower seat which sounds ideal (but is it?). Has anyone had any experience with these lower seats? Surely not every 1150GS owner is over 6 foot tall? or maybe they are and I should forget the idea of owning one of these fantastic machines!
Finally, If I go ahead I will be buying a used machine - what optional extras are the most useful to have?
Any advice which will help me make that final decision will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
