I have a 2012 Bonneville it came with a seat that was almost flat and not to good looking. I found a sculpted seat off a 2011 that looks right for the bike but, they must have just cut down the foam because it is extremely uncomfortable after only an hour in the saddle. I think I may have to go back to the flat seat. So I agree you are not crazy. You may need to look into a new aftermarket seat like some of the guys had suggested. Good luck.

On my 2020 Street Twin after 1.5 to 2 hours my butt hurts. I bought an Airhawk seat the Airhawk small cruiser pad. I met a guy who had one on his T120 and loved it. I'm going to install it ttoday on my 2020 Street Twin and see how it feels. FYI, I got it on ebay for a steal $27 + tax.
Let us know how you like it.
Ok I've had the Airhawk seat on for 2 rides and its the best aftermarket item I've bought for the Street Twin. NO MORE SORE BUTT. The top fabric was a little slippery at first but after I let more air out it was fine. I have the original Airhawk not the Airhawk2 so I don't know if the top fabric is different on the Airhawk2.
My understanding is the 2022 I pick up Wednesday has a new improved stock seat.
Vector, I'm interested in what you think of that seat. I've never found a stock seat that was comfortable for me..
I'll be able to tell you in about 8 hours.
Looking forward to hearing your opinion..
The 2022 seat is a new design.
So how was it?
No need to upgrade the seat.
Just read your report, excellent!
Wow! Now that's impressive.
I rode a street twin w the comfort seat. It was better.

It's interesting to me that Triumph is supposed to be a premium bike but they cut corners on the seats. I have a new 2020 Speedmaster, and don't care for the stock seat. Triumph has a comfort seat for this model also. I don't like the idea of buying a new bike and then buying a new seat for it. I've had over ten different bikes before and never even thought about replacing the seats.
I still do think of the Triumph brand as a step above many other makes. I guess no one's perfect.

Yep , you’re right on the money . The Bonnevilles should all come with the comfort seat as a standard feature . Would not cost any more , they would get better reviews and sell more motorcycles . Major no brainer , and they have good foot pegs , my feet never get sore ??
Most manufacturers offer comfort seats, a way to get more money.
Yep ! You’re right .
