I got the gel seat a ways back, because I'd heard good things about The Suzuki seat for other models. By the end of two hours or more, the stock seat had my behind sore and sweaty-wet. The last 45 minutes of long rides was spent day-dreaming about replacement seats, seat covers, etc.
The Suzuki gel seat is GREAT. I'm no longer thinking about other seats, my behind feels fine after hours on the road, and the slight bit of texture in the 'carbon fiber' material allows just enough air circulation to keep my jeans from gettting sweat-soaked. And, it looks good on the black/gray bike.
