All,
I've purchased a '16 R1200RT but am having quite a bit of back, knee, and hip pain. I've posted a different tread discussing the peg-lowering and seat-raising options that I', exploring but I'm also thinking that I may just need to admit that the RT might not have been the correct choice for me.
Can anyone provide me with a comparison of the riding positions between the GS and the RT? Is the Peg-to-seat height the same? Is the tank any narrower where my knees would be? Are the pegs set any further forward or back between the two bikes? What about the handlebar positioning?
I know I'd be sitting higher, I'd just like to understand if there are any positional differences.
Thanks,
Ski
