(06-27-05) Is Your Seat Comfy? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

themeatmanlandry · 06-30-2005, 02:28 PM

Just like with the helmet, except if you have changed out the seat from the stock one, state in your answer what seat you have.

[I'm stock and I can take about 5 hours or so before monkey butt sets in (ever seen them thangs's butts, man? Ouch!!

)]

I still have my stock seat and I think it's comfortable.

axel, buddy, you're supposed to VOTE!!

Actually, I've never had butt problems ... I usually start getting knee pain when riding more than about 45 minutes at a stretch. When my knees start hurting, I stand up on the pegs to stretch my legs (which also improves the blood flow to the glutimus maximus).

The back seat of Finch's new 600 sucks really bad. My legs and back were soooo sore after riding for only about 15 mintues. (Maybe I need to get into better shape)

**Trapper** · 06-30-2005, 03:08 PM

or get your own bike...

themeatmanlandry · 06-30-2005, 03:17 PM

. . . or ride with someone that has, oh, say . . . a Bandit.

blackie1491 · 06-30-2005, 03:25 PM

Is this a personal queston?

It is what it is.

C50 Limited · 06-30-2005, 03:39 PM

Just have the stock seat and don't have any complaints. Haven't taken any long trips on the bike so far though. Most time in the saddle at one time so far is maybe 1.5 hours.

bat4255 · 06-30-2005, 04:40 PM

I voted very comfy, but I had to do extensive modifying to get it there.

Ride-or-die · 06-30-2005, 04:53 PM

i tent to find being tall on a sportsbike the seat is the least of my discomfort

Scourge · 06-30-2005, 05:06 PM

I havn't done any long distance rides yet, but so far not too many complaints. It's stock, and it's large enough to accomodate my ever growing backside. Most of my weight is on the seat though w/ little to none on either my legs or arms, so I imagine that when I do start to take longer rides my arse will feel it.

prekarious1 · 06-30-2005, 06:48 PM

have ridden over 1000 miles in one day before, seat wasn't giving me any problems at all. Ended up getting a new helmet at the far end of that trip though.

rappidrabbit · 06-30-2005, 07:28 PM

seat is a real pain in the a$$...have to go to after market seat..looking at mustang if they will fit??????? that is on longer trips 200 to 300 miles.. average riding around town is not bad.....

mr_resistible · 06-30-2005, 09:39 PM

I didn't think my seat was that bad untill I sat on a nice one. Now I know what I'm missing out on. But I'm kinda thin and boney, so anything softer than concrete feels pretty good.

I don't notice my butt after the 5 hour rides, I feel it more in my neck, shoulders, and back. A gel seat with a back rest would be nice.

cb400bill · 07-01-2005, 12:11 AM

I have the Bandit Gel Seat and find it quite comfy.

stevie c · 07-01-2005, 08:52 AM

No problems with the seat here, but I have a lot of natural padding in my a$$!
