sore backside ? - Page 2

ST4 · 10-Jul-2003, 09:48

I havent had any problems with either the ST2 or the ST4. My passenger doesnt either but then she keeps reminding me that she rides a horse most days which apparently toughens up the old backside!
Maybe you should try that!

Oh right ... and then you'd have half the guys on this board putting thicker shoes on the back trying to tip them on their head to get 'em to corner better ...

Give me lots of horses and i'm fine..!!

I too have ridden the four legged versions and would rather have a throttle and brake....and atleast whan you park them up you can walk behind them with gettin a boot up the arse.....well i guess you can if you stay out to long and don't tell the wife!

') ROFL!! a classic response - made my day. My pillion found my 748 comfortable, so is scarcely the person to ask about the 4s seat! OTOH, she has mastered the art of graceful mount and dismount of the (iron) horse when fully loaded with luggage and panniers - left foot on LH footpeg, straighten L leg and bring right over in full highkick. Reverse to dismount. Ballet dancer...

Taking the topic back to seats, Ducati Performance catalogue has a very nice replacement ST seat in it. It looks very like a Corbin in style, cost is about £250 inc vat.
Oh and Shazaam, it's not the bigger shoes on the back to get it to tip in you have to worry about, it's when this lot start trying to fit a slipper clutch and carbon fibre saddle..................

Ride a supermoto / motocross and you'll know what a sore backside feels like!

I go on a few supermoto ride outs (the other bike), and it's hilarious to see the 60mph aerobic moves being performed on the fly!!!!!

At leat on the ST you don't get home sick after 30miles

I know what you mean, my others a ccm r30, but I dont expect to do more that 10 miles without a sore backside on that !!!
