Yeah, the pros and cons of Corbins have been coming up here for years.
My opinion is, there are some who's backsides just aren't suited to it. Not sure what sort of backsides but I don't normally look at bloke's rear ends anyway
All I can say is this, after doing less than 400klms one day after I first got my speedie, my bum got so sore I had to continually shift around just to get home. I knew then I had to look at a better alternative and the blokes on here were discussing the corbins.
So after dong my research I bit the bullet and bought a Corbin solo with backrest. Now whilst I had been warned it took a while to break, after 2 or 3000k's it was still not as good as I'd expected. Well, not long after that it all fell into place and I guarantee I've never once looked back as far as seat comfort goes.
So be prepared for a hard seat to start with but once it mounlds into your shape, you'll never be without one again.
The other aspect that many including me have found is that whilst it does feel you are sitting more further forward, it also made me feel like I was sitting in the seat and not on it. More like part of your machine which I found one of the best things going.
It's hard to explain but I'm not the first to say it.
