Anybody try a BMW low seat ?

[mickeym3]

Height of the new seat is fine but I much preferred the comfort of the low seat on my old Camhead. I did 600-700 mile days on it but the new flatter design is a PITA for me. Anybody try BMW's low seat and have any input? Don't want to spend the $ and then have to turn right around and buy an aftermarket seat.

 

Sure do love this bike....

I have 29" inseam, so went for the low seat. I could have managed with the regular seat. But I wanted the ability to firmly plant both feet on the ground if needed.

 

I like the shape of this seat. It's not too wide between your thighs and has a nice curve in the middle. You do compromise a bit on the cushion layer, but I did a 300km non stop ride and didn't feel any discomfort. I am quite happy with it may not go for any aftermarket options. But that's just my opinion.

 

This is my first RT so I don't know how it compares with previous models.

Ditto:

 

29" inseam, and almost flat footed with the low seat, in the lower position.

 

Not enough seat time to negatively comment, however I feel more secure and in control with the lower seat.

I'm looking forward to getting the low seat I ordered when I got my RT. 175#, 29".
