Has anyone out there ridden on both?

I've got the older style seat but would it be worthwhile for me to look for a newer style seat? From just eyeballing it, I don't see any differences in the rear plastics so I assume that a newer style seat would fit fine on older plastics.

I would also say the new style is more comfortable, the old style seat will get your feet a little closer to the ground while stopped though since it is narrower.

I have both seats for my S3, the new style has more padding for your boys. I prefer the old style as I feel more part of the bike and not on top of it. Be warned the new one will scuff your paint where it meets the tank and tail section

No question about it, the "new" seat is tons more comfy. I have lots of miles on both.

The reason I considered a Buell over a VFR800 was the NEW seat... IMO, new seat LOOKS better and I can sit on it for 8+ hours...
