Being a person of contained stature has many advantages, but also some other disadvantages. The canons of beauty have complicated things for the short and short, but nothing that confidence can not solve. A key feeling also to launch you into the conquest of the passion for motorcycles, which can be overshadowed by the height of the seat and riding position. When deciding on one or another motorcycle, many aspects are combined, starting with taste and ending with driving sensations. Motorcycling is a sport in which the emotional aspect is valued more, something that in passenger cars has been gradually lost with the arrival of anti-pollution regulations. But not only that, there are also many types of bikers : city, getaways, walks, country, long routes, circuit and a long etcetera that firms must content with very wide ranges. Also in the aspect of height.
In that sense, BMW Motorrad is the firm with the most interesting range for motorcycle users, whether they are of contained height or the opposite. What is most surprising is its trail family, known for the iconic and best-selling GS. Little by little the Germans have been completing a range that goes from the G 310 GS to the R 1250 GS , desired and loved by fans of this segment. During our visit to the BMW Premium facilities in Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), we were able to witness the radical change that occurs in the unit with the largest displacement by incorporating the low seat, in the lowest position. They are a total of 820 millimeters high , enough for someone 1.60 m to reach with the tip of their feet or the pad of one of them.
The options in the German brand are many, but not the only ones. The motorcycle sector is more and more aware of the amalgam of bikers that exist, of all possible heights, weights and forces. For this reason, we find ideal models for short people in any of the current segments: custom, naked, vintage, sports and adventure s. We show you options in the gallery.
