Howdy Folks,

Happened across this cite on the BMWMc list, I think.

I asked them to add the K11 RS and they kindly did and will add any bike just press 'add new motorbike' button.

It is really a lot of fun but needs some more bikes added, I guess. Laughing

Wishing yuze all a superb Festive Season including Christmas and New Year events etc.

All the very best and thanks for the goodly K11OG forum and all the admin folk, moderators and contributors and lurkers.

I put myself on a K75RT there and, sure enough, my knees hit the fairing. Laughing

I'm 6-2 with a 34 inch inseam. I'm fine on the RS, even with thick armored winter stuff on.

The LT is another issue. Like my K75RT, my knees are/were pretty cramped on it. But you get used to it so it's not that big of a deal. Things got much better this summer on that bike when I installed a Russell seat that has the rider portion back an inch or two.

If I were to ride with my foot arches on the pegs, my knees would be jammed right into the K-RS fairing (6'-2", 35" inseam). The site showed that.

But I ride with the forward part of my feet resting on the pegs nearly all the time giving me a bit more knee room.

Interesting site, thanks Merlin

I'm 6-2 and no my knees don't hit the RS fairing unless I'm braking hard and hit a massive bump at the same time....and yes it hurt! Didn't upset the bike though.

He's got to be 6'4" if not more. He has the knee pads removed on his K100 so his knees can fit into the fairing!
