Sargent Cycle World Sport seat
Sargent Cycle http://www.sargentcycle.com/ produces excellent aftermarket seats for popular sportbikes, cruisers and sport-tourers. The quality of the materials and manufacturing are top notch, and the seats are a good value.
The stock plank
Stock Plank: The stock CBR954RR seat is as uncomfortable as they get.
It's hard to imagine what the factory seat designers are thinking in their design sessions. I can tell you it's definitely not comfort. Here's the stock seat from my Honda CBR954RR. If you are not going to ride for more than 30 minutes this might work for you.

I remember the stock seat on
I remember the stock seat on my '98 CBR1100xx. Damn, 30 minutes in, and my ass felt like it had been chewed by hundreds of wasps.
I opted for the heavy Corbin Gunfighter seat since I was familiar with Corbin seats (and like them a lot); I do wish I'd looked into the Sargent seat, as it looks like a nicely crafted seat (just look at that pan... I get depressed just looking at the Sargent pan... and thinking about the heavy, thick pan on my Corbin... Corbin really ought to get rid of that fiberglass pan.)
Well, design and construction details notwithstanding, I can ride 300-400 miles in a day on the 'bird with the Corbin, with only a few stops for gas. Can't say the same thing for the stocker.
My next ride will have a Sargent seat - I like the design and construction quality on the Sargent.
