It's nice that BMW finally figured out how to offer a lower suspension option on most of their newer bikes and for only $250! I just bought an '08 F800ST with a low suspension but it still has a stock seat for better butt cushion and it fits me to a T.
I am about 5' 3" with a 29" or so inseam. But for what it's worth, I have been doing some yoga and regular stretching along with my workouts for the past year and I swear I can touch the ground on bikes I wouldn't even have ever thought of sitting on. At the Int'l Motorcycle show I sat on a Vstrom 650 stock, no problem. The new Honda CBR250, no problem. And I think all these seats are over 30 inches.
So get out there and do some downward dogs before you get on that bike! It just may help, not to mention you'll feel better too!
