Lower Seat Height for BMW
Motorcycles available in 2008
BMW Motorcycles announced several
packages to lower the seat height on a selection of their models
for 2008. Depending on model this will bring the seat height
down about 55mm (a little over 2.in). The packages will be available
upon request as an option and will be installed at the factory.
Depending on individual height especially less experienced riders
feel more comfortable with both feet firm on the ground when
standing or maneuvering their motorcycle, a demand BMW will be
catering to by this new offer.
Models for which the lower seat option will be available include:
Model: R 1200 R
Lowered Seat Height: 750 mm
Standard Seat Height: 770 mm
Available: Spring 2008
Model: R 1200 GS
Lowered Seat Height: 790 mm
Standard Seat Height: 820 mm
Available: Spring 2008
Model: R 1200 RT
Lowered Seat Height: 750 mm
Standard Seat Height: 780 mm
Available: Spring 2008
Model: F 800 S/ST
Lowered Seat Height: 760 mm
Standard Seat Height: 815 mm
Already available
Model: F 650 GS (neu)
Lowered Seat Height: 765 mm
Standard Seat Height: ---
Available: Spring 2008
Basis for the lowered seat height on all models is a lowered
chassis. In combination with the already available lower seats
this leads to an even lower seating position than thus far possible.
For the R 1200 R and R 1200 RT the option of the lowered seat
has been further improved and will be available also without
any changes to the chassis.
