=> Mark, I can tell you that I recently--well ok, 3 months ago--test rode (just
=> for the hell of it...I'm not buying) a 2001 R1150RT and an LT. Both had
=> adjustable seats and windshields. I don't know about the bars or the foot
=> pegs.
Um, so? You asked about models in 1993 that had that level of adjustability. All
R1xx0s have had adjustable seats, bars, and pegs, as far as I know. The 1993
R1100RS was the first model in the line, and thus the first to have all those
features. I believe that the K1200RS and K1200LT have some of those features
too.
BMW gets something right, and the other companies don't even bother to copy it.
