I have a Sargent World Tour on my '02 R11S BCP. It came on the machine, courtesy of the first owner. I find it to be very comfortable and certainly well made. It gives me freedom to easily shift my weight and position when riding on back winding roads. On a long ride or anything longer than an hour on the slab, I find myself moving forward toward the tank, when what I want is to keep my ass back against the rise of the saddle. This happens slowly, over a period of minutes, unless the road is uneven or bumpy at all. Sargent has all kinds of options to reconfigure seating (changing shape, altering the foam density, changing the seat covering, etc.)., but I'm sure it's expensive. Before I consider that, I'm going to ride another season and probably try GotRoad's idea of putting some sort of bumper or spacer under the front of the saddle to see if that helps me stay back against the seat rise. All-in-all, the Sargent is a quality seat with lots of options for customization. It's costly, but considering the workmanship and material, it's worth giving your butt the most comfort possible.
