Difference between the Standard and the Lowered models F650 Twin

[Zofo]

Hi have been looking for a suitable F650 GS twin for a while and have come up with a 2009 one with a low seat. It feels OK for me to sit on. The owner doesn't know if it is the lowered suspension model or a low seat option. I think it is the low seat option. I know the side stands are different but I don't know what they should look like.

Is there any way of telling the difference between the Standard and Lowered models of a 2009 GS 650?

Yes ...

... get the VIN and phone a BMW dealer, they'll tell you straight away

Other than that; the fork tubes are shorter, as is the shock. The side stand has a larger footprint and it won't have a centre stand.
