Vstrom 1050 xt

Picked up the yellow peril. On Thursday. Today was the first proper ride. 250 miles. My bum hurts. I even had a gel seat fitted. Any ideas on better seats?

I have a gel seat on my 650. It is brilliant. As this hasn't worked for you, you may want to try an "Airhawk". Expensive but very good and cheaper than a gel seat too.

I think you are right. 
Shame though as it worked perfect on my Gsxs 1000 whilst on my Scotland trip last year.

Got Sargent seat for my DL1000 lot better then standard low seat

Air hawk every time. They are not cheap but they do the job. I have ridden a number of 500 mile plus days with no issues. You need to experiment with the amount of air to start with but you will soon find the right level.

Bought one of these myself, a lot cheaper than a Air hawk.

Another for the Air Hawk.

I use an Air Hawk also. I've  tried 3 different seats on my 14 Veek with not much success, they were better than the oe but not that much better. I now use the standard seat with the air hawk. I get about 200 miles before I need off.
I sat on the new 1050 at the dealers, first thing I thought was flip that seat is hard!

I agree with user650. Air Hawk seems  dear. Bought one of these for £20 and have examined Air Hawk. Seem identical to me. Works a treat.

I just got one of these for my K2 , simply great

I personally don't find the 1050 seat too bad, but then again I'm fortunate enough to have an biological gel seat in my fat ar5e......
