You can get different seat heights for them.
ok , you won't like this but .....
you're getting old and shrinking .....or ....
you have left your balls in their bag , get the wife to put them back in the jar on her side of the bed , and normality will be resumed

I don’t think the 1150 had different seat heights. I think one had to buy different height seats. low, medium, high etc.
Exactly
1150 GS has a standard seat, with 2 height position on the mechanism
1150 GSA has no seat height adjustment mechanism - but you can normal seat or low seat
I think you are shrinking has some truth.
We all shrink a little with age, and lose some flexibility!

While I’m shrinking in height I’m certainly gaining width wise to compensate.
So when you sit on the bike, your standard seat height becomes a low seat height!While I’m shrinking in height I’m certainly gaining width wise to compensate.
No, not got the crappy standard seat on mine. Got one of these beauties.
Which has recently had a double dose of treatment on it.

Have you checked the rear shock pre-load adjuster to see if that is in the high position?
it was actually, i,ve wound it right off now to see if theres a difference
When I bought my r1150gs a couple of years ago after being on much newer BMW's since 2011 I was shocked at what a top heavy bugger it is and how unwieldy it is to move around , spoilt by newer bikes that carry their weight much lower down and use plastics rather than pig iron and lead in their construction .
There is a tall seat option for the 1150 GSA (52537659472) and a low seat option ( 52537659474 ). Check the part number and see what you’ve got fitted
I’ve never been a fan of any BMW seat, there are far better options available from aftermarket specialists like Sargent/Corbyn/Russell Daylong etc and upholsterers like Tony Archer.
