Unlike most of the Other Member's Posts above, I really like Very Firm Seats on Motorcycles, and have generally been very fond of CORBINS having had them on Harleys, Other Cruisers, and even Sport Bikes I've owned in the past. Since I typically tend to do longer rides consisting of several hundred miles in a day(s), I find the firmer seats tend to keep my weight distributed across the full seat width. Softer seats seem to start establishing pressure points as the seat gets warmer/softer all day. CORBINS have to be ridden between 1200 and 2500 miles to fully "pocket" to Your anatomy....just "another opinion".....ThumbUp
