BMW Motorrad will offer additional low seats as alternative on some lines of 1200, 800, and 650 motorcycles, and using lowered bodywork to get riders closer to terra firma. It's a different move to be a focus for new and reborn riders to the BMW marque. “Less practiced motorcyclists and restarters frequently feel safe when fixed on their bike if both feet contact to the ground,”

Depending on the model, two options are obtainable for sinking seat height a lower seat, and/or lowered bodywork. The F800S and ST models are already obtainable with a changed chassis that lowers the seat by 55 mm, while the F650GS will soon be obtainable with a lower seat, or with a lower seat and chassis package for a fully drop of 55 mm. The R1200R and RT models will be obtainable with a standard two-position seat, the lower seat, or the seat-chassis combo cover, bringing seat height downward to 750 mm. still, for the lanky R1200GS, only the lowered chassis option is obtainable.
