2024 S1000 XR

My OEM Std seat on the RS is pretty good but not the best. My RS Wunderlich seat is all day good, I have no need to look for anything else on the RS. I think the problem with the XR seat is the shape of the frame, seat manufacturers are force into a bowl. They have improved that on the 2024 XR, the frame shape and the seat shape are the best yet on an S1000XR. My dealer in Fort Collins has about 3 '23 S1000XR with the low seat, they have been in stock for many months. I don't understand why BMW does that - they build a motorcycle with a difficult seat, and to top it off, they deliver to dealers the worst possible seat for that motorcycle. Dumb.

This current version of the S1000XR engine is sublime. I can't say enough good things about that engine. I have not tested the M version.
