Riding a BMW Motorcycle is all about freedom. The freedom to explore the open road. The freedom to reach places others only dream about. And the freedom to unleash the insatiable quest for adventure. And now, this freedom takes on a whole new form with the advent of all-new optional lowered seat heights for nearly all of our motorcycles.
That's right, we heard your wishes and made them come true with optional equipment that makes just about every BMW bike more comfortable and more ride-able than ever before. Let's face it - not every one is six feet tall with long inseams. And besides, some folks just want a more easy-handling riding position. Our customized performance and optional low seat heights accomplish exactly that, making every two-wheeled journey more rewarding than ever before.
Customized Performance. It's what makes a BMW motorcycle uniquely yours. Because let's face it. You should ride your bike. Not the other way around.
BMW Motorrad offers individual solutions for high individual demands. Intensive discussions with our customers proved that the ergonomics of a motorcycle are an essential factor in selecting a new bike. This particularly includes the seat height and the reach of the rider to the ground. Today, in a direct response to our riders, most of our bikes are equipped with the low seat option.
BMW Motorrad is the very first and only motorcycle manufacturer to offer a specific lowering kit for some of its models. At BMW, completely retuned suspension components are retrofitted in front and in the rear. Depending on the model, the seat height may be lowered by as much as 3 inches.
