I never put the 2 bikes side by side to compare knee angle. It sounds like the GS would offer the most comfort in that regard. My bike with the lowered pegs has my knees at about a 90 degree angle which is perfect. My problem was going from a small (XB12R) bike with a 30" seat height to a much ...

I was having a lot of trouble with a bad knee so I sold my beloved Buell XB12R and bought a cream puff 2005 1200GS. This has lessened my knee angle considerably and I'm a lot more comfortable.

I'm new here but I've been riding for 40 years. I've owned a BMW R50, R90 and R100S. I just sold my Buell XB12R. I have a bad knee and was considering the R1200GS for the leg room (I can't bend my right knee bent more than 80 degrees for any more than 50 miles). I sat on a R1200R and found it comfor...
