Yep, I've bought the Suzuki gel seat for my '00 'Busa, the '01 GSXR1000, the '03 GSXR1000 and now my '06 GSXR1000. Before that I always got Corbin seats going back to my '88 V-Max. I'm almost pissed at Suzuki for being able to manufacture such a comfortable seat and not having it come stock on the bike in the first place!

one shop I was working at took in a Ducati trade in, it was a Multistrada. if you felt the seat with your hand it felt like a jell seat but once you sat on it, it felt like a board.

m stock Honda seat is comfy as hell - I never have issues even spending 18-20 hours on it in a day...maybe it's my custom butt that makes the difference
