Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to experienced riders who are comfortable managing a very heavy, large-dimensioned motorcycle at low speeds and in traffic.
Purpose	Built as a full-dress luxury touring machine designed to cover long highway distances in maximum comfort for rider and passenger.
Rider Fit	Its substantial weight and tall bulk mean shorter or less physically confident riders may find slow-speed maneuvering, U-turns, and parking demanding.
Character	A stately, smooth-running in-line four with shaft drive that delivers relaxed, effortless cruising rather than sporty thrills.
Not Ideal For	Not the right choice for riders wanting a lightweight, flickable bike for tight canyon roads or any kind of off-road use.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 1999 BMW K 1200 LT, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
