If a dealer is doing you a deal it's going to be off their margin.

That information came directly from BMW. Strangely, I just checked my 2015 Owner?s Manual and it states the standard seat height is 815 mm. The bottom line (pun intended!) is that the new model is taller, which should increase ground clearance.

Yeah it?s come from the dealership I pre ordered mine from, I was concerned about seat height especially reading that it suits a taller rider with me being 5,7? and not being able to actually test ride the bike with it not existing...
