Rider fit: reaching the ground
The BMW K 1200 LT lists a 770 mm seat; the Moto Guzzi 1000 SP lists 762 mm — a 8 mm difference. Seat height is only a first-pass ground-reach input. It does not establish safety or actual foot contact. Seat width, suspension sag, boots, mobility, load, and individual proportions can materially change the result.
On seat height alone, the Moto Guzzi 1000 SP has the easier modeled ground reach. Load your measurements into the simulator to compare the model, then verify both motorcycles in person.
