How tall do you need to be to get your feet down on a 1200GSA
At 5'8" not sure if I could, might try it tomorrow at dealers

There can't be a hard and fast rule.
Try at dealers, with a low seat.
If you can live with that height - get a Wunderlich/Touratech/Kahedo low seat (which is even better than the BMW low seat)
Al
it's a state of mind....

It's also pretty variable. I've ridden one Adventure - ex Si Rich and now owned by fringe , both of this parish - which is actually lower than my GS. It would appear that there's quite a variation in them as they come out of the factory.

It depends how long your legs are and how short your body is!
5'1" body 7" legs

Exactly, how tall you are isn't the deciding factor. You inside leg measurement is!
You can lower a GS (A)
e.g. I think that the GS Ohlins are a little lower, i.e. GS Ohlins on a GSA, etc., ....... I'm 5' 11" and I put GS Ohlins on my GSA .....
(if you have "short legs" you can also get modified foot rests which give a more comfortable riding position)
and as has been said there is, (was) a low seat option
you can also get an adjustable arm for the paralever ...... I cannot remember if this allowed you to change the ride height .... but I think so

I am too short in the leg for a GSA but just right for a GS with a low seat option.
That is what I went to the dealers for to find outwhich bike I could ride... and not to buy a Triple Black... whoops
Sorry the those whose bikes I was coming to view.. job done
