Does the BMW R75/5 fit you?
The BMW R75/5 (1971–1973) has a 850 mm seat height. As a rule of thumb, riders with an inseam around 85 cm — roughly 181 cm (5'11") tall — can plant both feet flat at a stop. Around 79 cm inseam you'll be on the balls of your feet, and shorter riders will tiptoe. Enter your own height and inseam in the simulator above to see exactly how you reach the ground on the BMW R75/5.
Riding position
As a standard motorcycle, the BMW R75/5 puts you in an upright, neutral riding position. The simulator scores the exact knee, hip, and elbow angles for your body so you can see how relaxed or aggressive the reach to the bars and pegs will feel.
What is the BMW R75/5 best for?
The BMW R75/5 is best suited to comfortable, do-it-all road riding with a neutral, upright posture.
Braking & stopping distance
At 205 kg wet plus a rider, a hard stop from 100 km/h on dry tarmac takes roughly 39 m (about 1.00 g). Stopping distance is grip-limited, so it is set far more by tyres and road surface than by the bike or rider weight.
Fit figures are rules of thumb (flat-foot inseam ≈ seat height); the simulator gives your exact reach and joint angles. Braking is an estimate from wet weight and wheelbase on a dry road.
