whats peoples thoughts on these apart from being expensive,has anyone tried one?

I had one on my Hayabusa and it was a little different feel wise, I would have to say it was a little firmer but comfier at the same time.
My arse still ached after a couple of hours tho!
The best advice I have is wear lycra cycling shorts and make sure there are no creases in your leathers or other trousers when you are sat down!
Maybe memory foam could be an option??

I've never tried one, but if you want a gel seat you can have surgical gel implants put in a standard seat.

I tried one on a GTR. I didn't get the feeling that it was comfortable and could only bear 30 mins. Other that have tried it love it

did put a kawasaki gel seat on the gtr1400, would not say it was more comfortable than standard thou! but to be fair have not been on any long runs due to the weather, having said that! I only got the gel seat because am a short arse. but they are a lot softer so should be more comfortable. but would not pay the £375.00 there asking for it. I was lucky, got mine of ebay for £150.00, it was only 6 months old and still in new condition, the guy decided the gtr1400 was to big for him, what a weed hey! dam sissy if you ask me ;) if your buying it purely for comfort, then there not worth the list price thats for sure!
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff
