Riding a BMW r1100rt on dirt roads?
Due to my short inseam I have no choice but to ride low motorcycles, that's why many off road bikes are out of the question. For that reason I ride either a r1200c or a r110rt tippi toeing in the lowest seat possition. However, these bikes restrict me to fairly good and mainly paved roads, and I don't dare to take them to South America. I ride an older Kawasaki Kz750 while in Bolivia, but neither this bike is good dirt road bike.
I would really like to convert preferible the r1100rt to ride on rougher roads. For this I think I need more agressive tires.
Does anyone have any experience with this bike?... do they make more agresssive tires for it?... My back tire is a 160/60 r18…. How can I make it more stable on dirt or gavel roads?
I really would like to stay with the BMW, but my max seat height is no more than 30"
Thanks a lot in advance..!
