How TALL are R12R owners?

[spoonyfork]

6'2", 33", standard seat, no shock adjustments. The only comfort complaint I had was wrist and a $12 Throttlerocker took care of that.

[Caol]

6'1", 32", standard seat, sheepskin buttpad (1-1/4"). Will probably be moving to a high seat, or have the standard re-worked locally. I like the seat, but I need some space for my knees! (they're starting to creak! ;-> )

[cwrose]

6'1" with a 34" inseam, and 155 pounds using the factory low seat Definately considering a new seat and possibly bar risers. Foot peg position is great in my opinion even with a knee injury, but my back hurts a bit after long rides.

[AbqDave]

5'7", 29 inch inseam. I softened the springs up a little, by a couple of clicks, and have a low seat.

Once a low rider put out a call
Asking R-owners, hey, are you tall?
Well, I have to admit
I don't like it a bit
I am handsome, but not tall at all!

Cheers

Looking back at crewzzn88's posts..

He (?)* is 5'5".. no idea on his (?) inseam, and he's (?) been considering R12R since Feb. He (?) apparently has resistance to the test-ride syndrome since he (?) test rode one back in Feb.

crewzzn88 - it's time to poop or flush.. We now know the average R1200R rider is:

1 - 18 to 99 years old
2 - 4' to 8' in height
3 - handsome as the devil (or beautiful as the deviless)
4 - been riding 1 day to 99 years
5 - has an inseam from 20" to 45"

Now that we've gathered the facts - what'cha gonna do? Poop or flush time..

Sorry, I should have clarified that I opted for the "high seat" configuration 32.7" when I bought mine.

[Northernbiker]

6'4", with 34" inseam. Ordered the bike with the high seat but after 2 days switched to the standard height seat as my back, shoulders and arms were aching. Switched to Speigler Super bike bars which brought them up a bit higher and improved things. Now just my legs hurt.

[Josh_S]

6'4, custom Bill Mayer Saddle, seat, Bar risers. Now it's very comfortable.

5'6", 29" inseam, low seat, std suspension.

Works OK, but I would like to try a low suspension sometime.

[papasong]

5' 8"; 31-inch inseam.
Standard seat and suspension works fine for me.

[celticus]

5'8" 30" inseam. Rick Meyer seat made for someone else who must have been about my size as the seat feels just right to me.

What a great topic I started. Don't you just love Forums. THANK YOU ALL! My Bio, 5'5" 28.5" inseam using the Aerostich method. Poop or Flush???? Not quite sure what this term means. Maybe "Thinking or Buying" Well, looks like I flushed then. Got a 2008 R12 in Granite Gray with Low seat. Picked it up last week. Took the long way home. What a BLAST! to ride. Can't wait to set it up with all the goodies! You'll be hearing from me.

[qgaex]

Congratulations!
Pooping was the right thing to do.

[deilenberger]

Cool. Congratulations. Low suspension also? (shouldn't really need it since you have 1.5" more inseam than I do..)

Glad to see you flushed.

And of course..

This thread is useless without pics!
