If I go for a blast my bum aches for ages. Are there any alternatives ? I mnean, I know the seat is cushioned but damn, why the pain after an hour or so in the saddle ?

No cheeky comments from Falco owners !! In fact:

DISCLAIMER
I Kevin Johnson in no way recognise ANY bike to be superior to my RSVR. The comfort is remarkable and it is me that has the problem not the bike. The bike is perfect. Look at my grin.

Kevin

PS, The grin was even bigger when I whizzed past my pal on his R6 - and boss on Super Blackbird - tee hee hee !

Go to www.sheepyhollow.com and get a small sheepskin cover for the seat. $Aust35.00. Ads that little bit extra to the padding but not to the overall seat height.

Just a suggestion.

Harden up wossy boy. Only real men should be riding an RSV, and complaining about your butt only makes people talk about you behind your back

MandP or similar companies do seat gel packs to soften the blow.

Youre obviously not hanging off enough, even in a straight line

RSVR.net are selling the American made Corbin seats for the Mille.
They are supposed to be far more comfortable than standard bike seats.
Never tried one myself though.
