Passenger Comfort on Sportbikes

I would say my KTM RC8 has an irrelevant passenger seat. It just snaps on and is a thick as a piece of 1/4 plywood. It also has about the same amount of padding. Looks terrible.

The 1098 looks equally crappy for comfort but the seat did replace the rear cowl so a bit more of an integrated look. Look terribly uncomfortable as well. Just less of an after thought.

I never mounted the rear pegs on either bike. The rear seat and pegs for both bikes get delivered in a bag.
