Has anybody got the low seat and if so what do you think of it ? Not the low suspension mind.

I have the low seat on a standard suspension. I haven't had the opportunity to do any road riding yet because of the weather but, so far, this low seat feels more comfortable than the one I had on my 2009 GS, wich was a real torture after 45 minutes on the road. On the low position, I am at the same height to the ground (820 mm), which is okay. My feet are not entirely flat on the ground, and I have to push the bike backward on tiptoes when parking, but for everything else, it's okay. I am 1m.70 tall.

Low seat standard suspension set rider only. Me 5`10in /32 inside leg.
I have mine set low at back , high at front to stop sliding forward under heavy braking. Feet just flat on floor but notice pegs must be in different position as touch inside of calf . Took rubbers off to give better leg angle and more feel. Works for me and cumfy.

If, it's any help...I badgered a mate into riding one at the weekend - he's about 5'7" on a good day and with the seat set low and the EAS set to one person he had no problem getting both feet down.
Which surprised us both!
