Very true.. Never thought about the different riding positions, but it makes perfect sense. I LOVE my Suzuki Gel Seat.. I would not go back to a standard seat. A friend of mine has a Honda CBR 954RR with a Corbin and truthfully, I was NOT impressed. My seat was much more comfortable. Dont get me wrong, Corbin seats are more comfortable than Stock, but even Corbin was beat out in my opinion by the Suzuki Gel! (Just my 2 cents for what its worth)
