Well, I am a keen cyclist. I am hoping that if I can spend up to eight hours on a hard racing cycle saddle any time on the standard Ducati saddle will feel like luxury 
It's been several years since I cycled a lot (longer distances rather than racing). I did 200 miles in 2 days (STP - Seattle to Portland). The seat time was something that you had to get used to. Is it the same with the Panigale seat? Or is the comfort seat on the Panigale more necessary for longer rides because of higher speeds, etc?Well, I am a keen cyclist.

How do you find the DP comfort seat? I ask because there is a local place here (Rich's seats) that has an excellent reputation. So, I was thinking of pinging them to find out how much they'd charge to do a custom seat (which would be specific to me)...I didn't even put 1 mile on my 959 before I changed out the the stocker to the DP comfort seat. A must do for those who want to do long days in the saddle.
You're never too old to ride a Panigale! >There's only one thing I know 100% for sure: Me asking this question does NOT make me too old to ride a Panigale!!!
Sweet! Good recommendation. I plan on doing a lot of riding so that will be an investment i'll make sure to follow through with.I didn't even put 1 mile on my 959 before I changed out the the stocker to the DP comfort seat. A must do for those who want to do long days in the saddle.
Hey Rucks,I didn't even put 1 mile on my 959 before I changed out the the stocker to the DP comfort seat. A must do for those who want to do long days in the saddle.
Hey Rucks,
Do you have a link to the comfort seat? Is it the same one as the 899?

Has anyone checked out this one? It's just a seat cover. And if you get the luimoto, it looks like some work to install it. Plus then you still only have one seat. But it looks pretty cool:

Awesome! Mine is on the way!The comfort seat is the same one as the 1299 version. I love this seat and would recommend this as the first important upgrade to anyone!
Hi Rusks22, How much height does it add over stock?The comfort seat is the same one as the 1299 version. I love this seat and would recommend this as the first important upgrade to anyone!
I just installed mine. I've sat on the bike with the comfort seat but not ridden it yet. For added height, it's hard for me to say. I'm guessing an extra inch. What do you think rucks?Hi Rusks22, How much height does it add over stock?
That's good. Thanks. An extra inch is fine. I was concerned as some of the 1299Panigale forum guys were stating +3" ??? They also stated a forward lean which is tougher on the boys. Any comments on that?I just installed mine. I've sat on the bike with the comfort seat but not ridden it yet. For added height, it's hard for me to say. I'm guessing an extra inch.

I can't say anything yet. I haven't even had a chance to ride my 959 since I installed the comfort seat because I've been sick. I really hate it (being sick) and have been tempted to go for a short ride anyways since the weather's been dry (which isn't always the case in rainy Seattle). But I also don't want to end up doing anything stupid (like crashing because I'm run down).That's good. Thanks. An extra inch is fine.
