Or OEM Yamaha Comfort seat. ;)

The folks I know who have upgraded to the OEM “comfort” seat on their Tracers haven’t found it to be much of an improvement. The comfort seat with heating is intriguing - but man is it $$

Its the same for the FJR. Many don't find the Comfort Seat is good enough. Lucky for me, it is.
 
FJR comfort is a little better than stock. When the temps get hot I add a bead seat to protect from monkey butt and stay cooler on long days.
 
on the superdukes if you open the throttle a little, you smile, if you open it more you scream
its a nice balance
the last 10% of the throttle is where it's at...
I scream in my helmet on my RC8r all the time. ;-)

I have the KTM heated seat on my 1190 who thought this bike would ever need a heated seat may in minus 40 you could think about turning it on. The rest of the time it is plenty warm without help.

Do you ever find the 1190 too hot in mid summer?
 
No it is fine for me but it can get warm when stopped in traffic.

Thanks. Does the same type of warmth occur on the 1290 Adventure, or was it something that just occured with the earlier models?
 
Know its impossible to get this setup, though they look very well setup for touring

They are really nice bikes. One is for sale in Ottawa, but for me, not as nice looking as the newer models.

I'm headed to Apex on Thursday to sit on a bunch of bikes and will try to get out to GP next week to sit on a bunch more.

If you have time and you are out that way. Check out Two Wheel Motorsport. They had a decent amount of bikes when I was there last year a few times.

Are they still open to walk ins? I think you'd have to make an appointment or something
