Me, "feet down" on a GSA:

[Heath]

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?

[rideserotta]

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

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

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.
