It looks lower than the standard seat, Martin. True?

It might be a trick of the shape and the perspective; my Sargent seat always looks lower than the standard high seat but is the same height in the centre.

Far too cheap, it's worth at least 2 grand  :o
How the hell can they see that amount of money in a bloody seat with a box on it. From what I've heard they are a bit on the hard side.
I have no personal experience though.

A Sargent seat, with a carbon pod on the back, went for £472 on eBay at the weekend.
My, er, brother was bidding on it.
 
With eye-watering prices like those you need the comfiest seat known to man, to ease many different types of pain!

I my brother gave up at £430 and ordered a custom one from here for less than half that:
http://www.motorbike-seats.co.uk/page3.html

I He went for as plain as possible. I'll tell you how I he rates it next week.

At some point we'll have to do a seat comparison day - standard v Corbin v Sargent v custom v plank

Yo,

Richtea:-     Height wise I can't tell any difference.
Reasewell:-  As for hardness yes it was a little and with the leather it also looks a little harley low rider.....
So £120 later fully re-trimmed with nice soft comfy sponge and a more modern and look  ;D.
I got my one of these for £230 off ebay so I didn't mind putting a bit more in to get it perfect. And I couldn't be happier.

Ultimately, if like me, you know your never going to take a pillion... (got my misses her license!) then get one of these its tidy and solid. Its big enough to carry some essentials, I put my 1.5m oxford hardcore chain in it no problem, and if this goes as cheap as I think its a steal.

A pint for the Squadron Leader, and a pint for the Tail-end Gunner - no problem, Rae.
The rest may have to go a bit thirsty, though  ;D

Price has changed:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Corbin-Seat-K1200s-K1300s/302736752899?hash=item467c844103:g:o~8AAOSwl4Va9zV2

Now a £175 starting bid, but £250 and it's yours.

Quite possibly a bargain for a Corbin, from Martin's comments.

I'll stick to my much more 'stylish' and adaptable Sargent thank you. Oh, and it's much cheaper...

'Less' maybe, but definitely not 'cheap'. Unless you're a Russian oligarch.
