This seat has been available for a long time now, at the very least since the first revision of the available colour schemes for the 650 twins. I have it too. It is very comfortable. Much more than that stock one. I mostly use a the single GT seat, though. The newest addition to RE's catalogue is actually the deluxe touring seat which costs 1k more than this. Have you seen it? Much broader than any other 650 seat and has the 3D mesh as well as dual density foam. I don't like how it looks, though I have no doubt it must be comfortable.

I only came to know about this seat accidentally as I mentioned in the video. And yes, I did notice the gangsta seat that is The Deluxe Touring Seat. Slightly expensive and made with bums wide enough to support all kinds of bottoms. And the reason why I didn't go for it is because it looks out of the place, meaning it doesn't look like a part of the bike. Yes it is very comfortable but it's a soar sight, and looks very different, in my opinion, it looks like a seat made for cruisers and has been made available for Cafe Racers. Kinda like Trypophobia. (Don't Google Search that! You were warned!)
@twowheeledparadox
Жыл бұрын
@@SrinivasGanesh Yeah, that seat does not look good to me. From an aesthetic point of view, a seat should fit within the top rails of the chassis. Any extension beyond that looks out of place. At least it looks better than the custom sofa seats you see on many Interceptors. Does that trigger your trypophobia? Haha! That's so weird! One would expect to see at least _some_ holes in an irregular pattern to get triggered.

The stock seat for interceptor seems quite low profile to me, but I bought the original touring seat that had the mesh inside but looked identical to the stock seat, it’s much more comfortable than the stock and has served me well for almost 3 years… but I have leather grips and leather tank pads which are tobacco brown in color, and if I add a brown seat cover the seat will become a bit fatter which I don’t want, this color is perfect, I just wanted to know if this is lower or higher profile than the stock interceptor seat, as I have never used a GT seat.
