Stock motorcycles are built for the ?average? sized man. This means that if you are in the fifty percent group that is considered to be of average build, then you will have no problem riding your bike with ease and comfort. However, for the rest of the population who might be taller or shorter than average, they might find it difficult to sit on a stock motorcycle seat and reach the controls with comfort and ease. You wouldn't want to drive a car that you couldn't operate easily, and the same is true for a motorcycle.
The downside is that a motorcycle seat is not something that can just be adjusted with the flick of a hand like the seat in a car. If you find yourself having problems sitting on your bike's seat then you might want to find a suitable replacement. There are a variety of different after-market seats that can be installed to help maximize your comfort and ability to ride the bike easily. You may think that this is just something done for looks, like adding motorcycle patches or chrome extras, but the truth is that having a properly fitted seat can be crucial to your ability to operate your machine.
When you are looking at your different seat options, remember to keep in mind how you sit on the bike and how you need to sit in order to effectively reach your controls. Then, after you've found a range of seats that will work, you can easily decide between those options to find one that is best suited to you. If you are worried at all about installation, be sure to ask questions or have it done professionally.
