I purchased a 2006 the Vstrom 650 last year and enjoy it for the most part however I did have to upgrade to a Sargent seat to make it rideable for a decent length of time.
I used to own a 1981 Honda Silverwing which was probably the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden. Since that time I've been trying to find a bike that that provides nice comfort but is practical and fun to ride as well. That's how I ended up with the Vstrom. But I went to the motorcycle show recently I decided to give a used Bergman a try after sitting on one. I picked up an almost new 2008 executive for a good price.
I really enjoy the practicality of the of the bike and the sitting position however I am having a real problem with the seat comfort and to me if the seat isn't comfortable there's not much sense in riding the bike since you can't enjoy the ride. I haven't got the space for the money to keep both the bikes so now I'm trying to decide between one or the other and I'm going back-and-forth.
Does anyone know of a good solution for the comfort issue on the Burgman 650? Does anyone have any experience with the Corbin seat for instance? Are there any other aftermarket seats available for the Burgman 650 that others have had experience with? Any comments or suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks.
