I have one and like it.
In the states, the list price is around $580 (heated), so it looks like a deal.

That's interesting. Are you sure the comfort seat doesn't come in a one piece low version, because that's what I was quoted for?Tony23 said:Are you looking at the one piece low seat for that price, if so I dont think its classed as a comfort seat , just a low seat.
The one piece comfort seat is lower than stock , heated and pretty good, I actually test road one today and have ordered one based on the ride.Price in UK is £405 inc vat.
The first pic is the one piece comfort seat which is the one Ive ordered.
Second pic is the one piece low seat.
The Comfort seat is heated.hopz said:Recently there has been a Comfort seat added to the list. (was not available in the '05 time frame- which is what you have.) I do not know if it is heated or not.
I cannot speak for the Low, one-piece seat that comes on the Low frame but I can tell you about the Comfort seat which fits the standard frame. You do need to remove two supports to make the seat fit. It takes about two minutes.hopz said:You cannot just fit the Low, one-piece seat which come on the Low frame bike to a standard bike without some modification to the seat mounting hardware. This modification may be fairly simple, but I suggest you figure this out before you buy the one-piece Low seat.
I'vce now been through, standard seat, comfort seat, Kahedo LD seat (Touratech) and Sargent.Benito said:I'm looking into this option as well... I have the standard heated seat option, and I'm exploring a more comfortable seat option. Looking into BMW's comfort seat.
Several internet threads indicate the BMW comfort seat is pricey and not that comfortable. I'm still considering it, just to maintain BMW OEM equipment, to work w/my heated seat. Moreover, any comfort seat should be more comfortable than the stock seat, right?
Can someone steer me in the direction of a dealer that carries a discount (MOA discount)?
Tks,

Well Said.....hopz said:That is an awful lot of money for something that may or may not add to your riding comfort.
For the record... a standard-frame bike, (meaning not the low bike)... has three seat options.
1. The Standard seat which is heated.
2. The Low seat which is heated
3. Recently there has been a Comfort seat added to the list. (was not available in the '05 time frame- which is what you have.) I do not know if it is heated or not.

I looked back at your first post in this thread and see that you thought the standard height seat was hard and uncomfortable. Going to a Low seat will not improve that situation and may make it worse.
Throw-in the feet to ground problem and you have a complex situation. These RTs seem tall for many of us, and also, many of us have found that your really can ride comfortably with just your toes or the balls of your feet on the ground.
I recall you have experience with a local seat builder but have not been satisfied.
My personal suggestion is to work with that builder till he gets it right. There are many different densities of foam and a knowledgeable builder should know how to fix your specific problem.
If riding solo, I agree. If riding with a pillion, I would strongly differ.Squash said:{snip}...dont let the 2 foot syndrome bother or put you off...{snip}

In my experience, EVERY seat that BMW puts on motorcycles is "low-comfort."corrcullen said:Anyone here own a BMW low comfort seat?
