Pretty accurate. Shows me flat footing a Streetfighter and barely flat footing a Hypermotard 1100 Evo. Which was how it was at the dealer.

I wonder if it accounts for footwear?

Doesn't look like it. But you could abstract pretty easily. It shows me no quite flat footing a Hyper - but with my boots on I stand a hair taller than the seat. So if you figure boots give you a couple degrees lift at the heel you could get a pretty good idea of what you could flat foot w/ boots.
But unless you're wearing some massive platforms Mrs. I, that GS ain't going to be a flat footer ever.

Great post, wish it had added sleeve length as a parameter. Pretty much showed me what I already knew, the new MTS doesn't fit me

Holy smokes that BMW GSA is a tall bike, I'm 6'1" with a 36" inseam, and I'm just able to place my feet flat with little to no knee bend.

They need to include weight/body type for these.
Would be useful/depressing/hilarious to see how much your ass or gut hangs over.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

and yet i'm 5'9 w/ a 29in inseam and i can ride one just fine.
flat-footing is overrated.
