Every time I think I'm ready to pull the trigger and order the heated Corbin modular, I see a post like this and get nervous. It is a lot of $$$ and when the reviews are so mixed, it makes it hard to justify the chance.
They *are* lot of money. IMHO the quality of both Sargent and Corbin are high- perhaps equal. They also have similar and/or identical features. You can tell from pictures what they "look" like and make that determination ahead of time. You can pick certain features. You can know the exact price. But as for what they FEEL like compared to what you want- that is a user preference that is hard for anyone to define in any way that would be terribly helpful. Even just sitting on one in a showroom somewhere is not the same as RIDING the bike with it. And even RIDING the bike a few times with it is not the same as USING it for many times (and on different days, different temps, different weather, different distances, and in different clothing). And even THEN, you still can't know what you MIGHT be missing with some other brand or model.
Such is life. Put it this way- most of us bought the Concours, itself, without test riding it (since most dealers won't allow test drives) and that is a hell of a lot more complex and expensive than a seat
