2013 vs 2019 RT seat to foot peg position

[jharpphoto]

I’m curious if anyone has data comparing the seat to foot peg distance/position of a 2013 and 2019 BMW RT? I believe there is a change in this position but can’t find confirmation of this. My ‘13 RT was just totaled and I’ve found a ‘19 as a potential replacement. Hoping these seat to foot positions are the same.

thanks for the link. I've been to this site but don't see the 2013 or 2019 RT listed.

With regards to years, you need to look for a year for the model run, since they do not update for each year. A 2013, would most likely be a hexhead/camhead where the ergonomics would be mostly the same. I would select the 2010-2012 as the 2013 would mostly be the same. The 2019 would be a wethead. They have a 2014 wethead, which should have the same ergonomics as the 2019.

I, can tell you this I, have a 2013 Rt I, have long legs at 6’2” . In 2019 While at dealership I, sat on a 2019 Rt No way
I, could ever ride one .seat to pegs is shorter angle is different.
Just my observation

My understanding for that sharper angle on the 2019 is due to them lower the seat height and keeping the rest of the pegs, MC structure still the same.
