That's exactly what I meant

For YEARS BMW has been told their bikes are "too tall." This is the lowest seat height they have ever had on a luxury tour. THAT, and the seat height is adjustable for those of us that are taller and need a non-painful knee bend.

Every bike is too tall, this is me on a Tiger, the other foot is just barely touching
