Buckeye said:The 03 seat sucks. Ride 4 or 5 days in a row @ 200 miles a day and you will agree. I am probably getting the 05 seat, hope the hype is right.
I hope the hype is right too!! It's a big part of the reason I ordered one. I would NOT have ordered a RX-1 if they had not fixed that. If you look at what they have done since '03, it is pretty impressive. Ripsaw track, lost 40-45 pounds, much thicker (hopefully softer) seat, brand new monoshock RA rear suspension. While it is fun to be the first to own something new like the RX-1, it almost always pays to wait a year or two for the OEM to figure out what needs to be changed and change it... Glad I waited.
