Jim VonBaden Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 A little more information on the bike you are interested in knowing about would help. I have a 12GS and the Sargent Low seat. I have had it for 15K + Miles, and really like it. It took a thousand miles to break in, but I am now good all day on it. Jim Link to comment
RoadJunkie Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I have the Sargent low seat on a '06 R1200RT and have put about 20K miles on it, 4K on the stock seat. Not sure what kind of detail your interested in, but I have a 32 inseam and it fits very nicely 1up in the low position. I put it in the high position when riding 2up and ESA on "2 helmets". The seat is very comfortable and provides a little extra thigh support over the stock seat. My longest ride in one day on the seat has been 700 miles and the seat was not a limiting factor. Riding 2up, my wife does tend to slide on mild stops, so it's a little slick. Wear seems to be good. Hope that helps. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 If so, are you happy with it? On my 1200RT and I like it...Because of thigh width of the Sargent I am tip toes to the ground as opposed to nearly flat footed with stock low seat...(29"+ inseam)...I ride with the Sargent in the low position.. I like the flat, slightly rear tilt of the seat and it's wider width under the butt, but it isn't soft...Don't think about the seat when riding anymore...That's a good indication...Covered in carbon FX.... Can't comment on pillion comfort...Wife has her own bike... Phil......Redbrick Link to comment
FrankBrown Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I have one (grip tex surface), heated, on my 12RT and love it. Excellent seat and great looks with the "M" colors.... Link to comment
ElevenFifty Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 16K miles on a low seat with my 1150RT - great saddle. I have acquired a Russell Day Long and am now in the process of lowering the bike so that I can keep the 2" taller Russell. The Sargent is comfortable, the Russell is heavenly. Link to comment
Highway41 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I would echo the other comments as I like mine very well after 27K miles. Talk to Rudi when you call. I did buy a Russell and while it is more plush than the Sergents I use it sparingly as you have just one seating "position" and it is not waterproof, even using the cover. Bill Link to comment
Dave_in_TX Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 A little more information on the bike you are interested in knowing about would help. I've got an 07 RT with the BMW low seat which I use in the low position. I'd like to get a bit more comfort without sitting too much higher. I know Russel makes a very comfortable seat but from the feedback I've read on this forum, the result is a higher seat inspite of whar Russel says. If I do end up with something that puts me on my tip-toes, I'll still need a stock low seat for comuting so I'd prefer to get something that doesn't require me to send them my seat pan.
