The c-racer seat is 30mm higher than the original Suzuki SV650A seat apparently, if anybody is interested.

Personally, I didn't like the design, but each to his own.

If I were to buy an aftermarket seat I'd go for either the Bagster:

or the Holeshot Performance:

The guy at Core motorcycle seats (that did my seat) is a rider and will discuss your requirements. Having owned a Core seat for almost 4 years, I now know what I'd change if there's a next time.

My Z900RS has the low seat option which means they took out the foam. Getting off the Zed and onto the SV is like sitting on a cloud (no, not cold and damp - soft).

I've got the Suzuki "Tuck and Roll" seat, I think the general consensus is any improvement in comfort over the stock seat is fairly marginal.

I find it absolutely fine comfort wise and would rate comfort better than stock, but then I appear to be in the minority by having also found the comfort of the stock seat ok.

Main issue I had with the stock seat was I found it too low and the "Tuck and Roll" option seems to add just enough extra height (somewhere between 5 and 10mm).

I also prefer the look so was pleased to be able to pick up an immaculate used one on ebay for around half the new price of circa £200.
