Does the BMW K 100 LT fit you?
The BMW K 100 LT (1987–1991) lists a 810 mm seat height. In this simplified seat-height model, an inseam around 81 cm is a rough ground-reach reference, not a guarantee of flat-footing. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change foot contact. Enter your measurements above to compare the modeled reach, then confirm it on the motorcycle.
Riding position
The BMW K 100 LT's touring category suggests a relaxed, upright touring position as a modeled starting point. The simulator estimates knee, hip, and elbow angles from the available geometry and your measurements so you can compare the reach to the bars and pegs.
Typical category use
The touring category is commonly associated with long-distance and two-up travel, with a relaxed, weather-protected riding position. Rider Height does not assess handling, performance, or whether this motorcycle is suitable for a particular rider.
Fit figures are planning estimates from the current geometry and simplified model assumptions. They are not safety, compatibility, or purchase advice; confirm fit on the actual motorcycle.
