Hi all,

Does anyone know the difference in height between the low and standard seat?

60 mm, according to the info on the Rider's Low Seat Option here:
build-my-bike.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/index_en_GB.html?cookie=1#/configurator/ZJ81/P0ND2,S0381,S0681/EQUIPMENT

760, 795, 820 and 840mm

It’s 790, not 795. I’ve just replaced my 820 standard seat with a 790 because it gets me flat footed at a standstill with my short legs. It’s more confidence inspiring for me.

I have a Low I would like to swap a medium if anyone is interested as I would like to sit a bit higher.

Tall seat is good.

Even for us “less than tall” riders.

So much more comfortable with the extra leg stretch and seat built-in suspension.

Getting “2 flat feet” isn’t the be all and end all.

I once watched a very short guy step on and off a rolling GSA. Not for me, but an impressive stunt.

Is there a way to tell what height seat the bike I pick up on Tuesday has fitted, just by looking at the seat/underside?

Obviously the acid test is sitting on it...

It is likely to have either the 820 or 840 mm. If it is the very low seat (760mm) you will definitely know about it!

The 840 is completely flat on the top surface and has stitching on the side. The 820 is slightly sculped in vertically towards the rear.

Problem solved. I spoke to the dealer and they said it was the low one, but have switched it for the high one :)
