What ya got laying around?
I'm running the stock seat, but the sport seat has more padding from the pictures/descriptions. Thanks in advance

If you can't find one from the forum, Revzilla has them available.

Don't know the exact height differences but it's the tallest and flattest of all the OEM options offered. If you open BMW's bike builder and change seat options it'll change what the seat looks like on the bike for comparison.

According to the Bike-Builder, it provides a 0.8" increase over stock, and it's more narrower and more "crowned," in addition to being flatter, as Craig pointed out. So, nearly an inch (+/-), but, because of the shape, it also changes "leg angle" or some such term.

The sport seat changes the ride significantly.

I take that back -- sport seats are in stock at the BMW warehouse in PA. I'm having the dealer fit it before shipping the bike to me but that means i'll have a standard seat for sale if anyone is interested.

The MAX BMW dealer here tried to keep the standard seat when I also ordered the low seat (and paid the additional $$ for it in the price) when I purchased my '18 RT from them.

I specifically asked if I could swap and they said no, but that I could order a sport seat and then sell the standard seat... so I took that to assume I'd be getting the standard? But I'll ask based on your recommendation. Thanks!

I would get both seats. The sport seat is a unique beast. Some folks love it, others find it painful on the wrists or the hips. I traded my standard high seat to a really skinny 6' ~ 6'-1" guy that hated his sport seat. He said it placed to much weight on his wrists.
For me, the sport seat is fun for a ride thru the twisties, but long rides are painful for my hips. There's minimal lateral support.
