  |  Back seat? I have a quick question. Looking at pics of some of these new sport bikess, I am trying to figure out about the back seat. On the 06 GSXR for example, there is a just a plastic looking bump, but others have pictures of a back seat. Do you have to buy 1 seperate? or how does that work.

| Many riders install what are sometimes called "smuggler" seats, or seat cowls. Very few bikes come with them installed from the factory. The Hayabusa is one example. You being a new rider won't be buying any of those bikes anyway. Right?

 | some bikes have a removable shell where a seat could go, and others just come with a solo seat setup. gsx-r's should come with a passenger seat, and might have a shell installed over the seat.

| 06 GSX-R comes with both a passenger seat and a seat cowl (Hard Plastic bumpy thing behind rider) I ride with the cowl in place most of the time. I think I have had the seat on only twice. Riding is a personal thing for me so I dont want to deal with anyone behind me or be responsible if something happend.

 | +1 researchjeep my stepbro has ridden both a gsx-r 600 (stolen) and a 1000 (crashed but rideable) and he just swaps the rear seat out when necessary. I believe the M109 has the same type of rear seat.
