Why not? When riding our 1199 I've found the standard seat really slippery and there wasn't much available (apart from the DP seat which is taller and therefore adds more weight to your wrists) so we're hoping to provide a solution
I found the std seat too hard, the DP seat is more comfortable and was on one of the bikes I text rode. This new seat does look the business but if it's not padded will it be anymore comfortable than the standard.
