I asked the Salesguy about the VFR seat and he was pretty certain that it was stock. However, I don't see Honda putting out a Sports touring bike with padding on the seat that is less than an inch thick and having my knees almost touching my torso when riding! There is of course the weird chance that I am just a funny shape I suppose!
You are most probably right about this particular bike, cheers Lozzo.
It was still a big disappointment though, I thought that it would feel amazing and it didn't. I also had a look at a CB1000, but it just felt uninspiring. The only bike that I have seen that I actually find as comfortable and as nice to sit on as my SV has been a Kawasaki Versys. If I see one of them going for a good price, I may have to sell the SV.
For now though, my SV is just about perfect, the bars are in the perfect place, the brakes are just how I like them and the ride is fun, it just needs a few quid throwing at it to make it feel slightly more alive on the road and then to get rid of the the restriction, which is April next year.
