600RR Seat
Last night was the first time I'd ever sat on a 600RR. And I thought the stock 929 seat was bad.

Re: 600RR Seat
Yeah, it's truly a race bike seat, not a combo race/touring/street seat like the previous ones attempted to be.

Re: 600RR Seat
I didn't look real close at it. Is it a seat that can be taken off, and an aftermarket one (Sargent, Corbin) put on?

Re: 600RR Seat
I found it easier on my bum than the 929 seat. Had no problems on my iron butt this summer. I could not stand the 929 for more than 100-150 miles at a time, I HAD to get off. It seems worse right off the bat, but it's actually made of better material me thinks

Re: 600RR Seat
Part of the problem too with that seat is that its very narrow.. Felt like my legs were sitting on the plastic.

We felt just the opposite, actually. It's definately wider than the seat on the Ninja 250. That, coupled with it having a seat height that is about 1-1.5" higher makes it impossible for the GF to touch the ground firmly.

I agree, anytime you go into most sport and all super sport machines the seat height tends to increase. A friend of mine (short guy) had to have his F4i lowered even after he shaved the seat.

Re: 600RR Seat
Yeah...one of the first things I noticed also when I sat the on the 600RR for the first time....the seat was hard as hell!!! a big turn-off to me...with that said, I'm sure it gets better with time Hopefully, the seat on the 1000RR will be a bit better(although I doubt it...it'll probably be the same seat as on the 600RR)....

Some of the older bikes have a lower ground clearance. I know my g/f is 5'2" and she can sit on my Seca II with little problem and my 5'1" sister has taken it out and had no problems stopping and all on it.
