Pre 2020 RT owners - can you stand up while riding?

[Bubby-D]

I was wanting to ask the same question. I have a 2020 RTL and I'm a newbie to the whole motorcycle riding experience. I'm a bigger guy, 6'1" and 275, and if I'm riding longer than 30/45 min, my hips start to kill me. When riding, I can kinda shift my feet around, but even that doesn't provide much relief. Was thinking that if I can stand up for a few seconds, would it actually help, or would I need to pull over and hop off. May look at adding highway pegs and see if that will help my big dupa also or just try to limber up my old man joints before riding. 20 yrs of EMS has done a number on my body.

What works for me, at a couple months shy of 79 years old, are floorboards on our 2018 F3 Limited. You can stand up or move your legs around. Mounting the machine is so much easier too.
