Hi all, I have for sale a Wunderlich sport seat to fit the R/RS 1200/1250 models. I bought this in September this year, from Nippy Normans. I've used it once but unfortunately it's too tall for me so I'm going back to the normal height seat. |

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #2 I believe (and I could be wrong) it brings the seat height to 840mm, same as the BMW "Sport" option. The Wunderlich is much more comfortable (for long distance) than the BMW seat of the same height; when I bought my 1200 it came with the BMW Sport seat. I bought a 2nd hand Wunderlich Sport seat about 3 months after buying the bike, and that has been on the bike ever since. Cheers Paul B. |

Hi Chris, the seat is 840mm. I'm only 5'3" so struggled, it would be fine for anyone of 'normal' height! |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #3Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #2 Duckcrazydave did a "reshape" of the foam (removing some of the crown) on a BMW Sport Seat and claims an improvement in comfort.

That did, in fact, work out great for me. But after seeing a few bikes with the same Sport option seat, not all had the same crown as mine. Manufacturing differences, I guess. I had a chance to sit (not ride) on a Wunderlich seat too. Very different feel from the stock option. |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #9Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #7 I suspect the reply would be that, compared to the 840mm Sport seat you feel you are sitting in rather on the bike. It is slightly dished rather than convex/domed like the Sport seat. I also suspect it is slightly wider. From what I have seen it is nearer 830mm height rather than 840mm at the effective seating point. But being just a tad wider your footfall when stationary is probably the same. And it is reputedly more comfortable. Anyway I will report back when I pick it up next weekend!!! Chris 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #9Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #7 Yes, having had BMW sport seat and Wunderlich seat, the BMW seat has a definite croen in the centre whereas the W/lich is flat. So on the BMW seat you always seem to be sitting on a ridge. Not a sharp ridge but better suited to sitting either to one side or the other. My logic is that it was designed for body movement - i.e. hangimng off. The W/lich seat is just better for sitting in one place and cracking off some miles .

I concur with andygriff. The feeling I got from trying out the Wunderlich seat was a flatter surface with firmer foam/padding than the BMW Sport option. Seemed like it would be more supportive over the long hauls. Maybe not quite as easy to shift side to side in the twisties. All speculation on my part, of course. |

Hi Rob, the seat was sold some time ago. |
