This is a fun site:

Me, "feet down" on a GSA:

Pretty accurate. Shows me flat footing a Streetfighter and barely flat footing a  Hypermotard 1100 Evo.  Which was how it was at the dealer.

pretty depressing website for short people (28-29" inseam)

Very Cool!!

Accurate too!

I wonder if it accounts for footwear?

That's pretty cool.

Doesn't look like it. But you could abstract pretty easily. It shows me no quite flat footing a Hyper - but with my boots on I stand a hair taller than the seat. So if you figure boots give you a couple degrees lift at the heel you could get a pretty good idea of what you could flat foot w/ boots.

But unless you're wearing some massive platforms Mrs. I, that GS ain't going to be a flat footer ever.

Great site, thanks for sharing.  Looks like I can flat-foot a new multi  :)

this is just fun

Word.  :-\

Great post, wish it had added sleeve length as a parameter. Pretty much showed me what I already knew, the new MTS doesn't fit me  :'( Thanks for sharing - Gene

Thank you for sharing!  [beer] [clap]

what is normal/ideal suspension compression?

Holy smokes that BMW GSA is a tall bike,  I'm 6'1" with a 36" inseam, and I'm just able to place my feet flat with little to no knee bend.

They need to include weight/body type for these.

Would be useful/depressing/hilarious to see how much your ass or gut hangs over.

and yet i'm 5'9 w/ a 29in inseam and i can ride one just fine.

flat-footing is overrated.  ;D

In case anyone is wondering - Yao Ming on the GSA

Prince on the GSA.  This is what adventure touring looks like...when doves cry.

if you're vertically challenged and like the Diavel you'll have to try it out today.  I sat on it at the show and felt like my ass was dragging the ground but dam it felt light as hell.
