Ok so first and foremost....!

If u haven't already PAID for one of the Street Rally seats off me yet put ur wallet away coz wot I've got to tell u isn't gonna make u want to buy one. (Unless ur a nutter anyway)!

Are we sitting comfortably???

Then I shall begin.

As some of u may or may not know....
I managed to (with the help from crotchrocket getting the rite part number)! get a supply of SR seats through my local dealership at a very nice price of £85 plus p&p.

Today I walked into said dealership and was talking to one if the blokes who fills in for Sam when she is on holiday and he said " ere... Listen to this"!
He then proceeds to tell me about a phone conversation he had earlier in the day with Yamaha UK reference the SR seat and in particular the price.!

Basically the seats were ordered by Yamaha UK and held in Germany and the were part of wot is know as an SR Kit.

I was the first person in Europe to order one (y wud u want a stock seat for a bike that's just this month been released rite)? Well we all know y..!

Yamaha have cottoned on to the fact that we have bought 8 and had them shipped to a country where the bike isn't out yet. They've realised wot we as MT owners were up to and y we were doing it and put the price of the seat up to a whopping wait for it.......

Drum roll please......

£240 can u fookin believe that....!!!!!!

Thoughts....comments.....!!!!!!



MT-09. Wheelie Wheelie Mental
 
Thats bloody unbelievable! I thought the seat was cheaper than expected but £240!! Robbing bastards! Glad you go them ordered when you did mate! Just goes to show what the parts really cost doesn't it. Means the comfort seat can probably be sold for £65 with a Yamaha profit margin. Considering the corrosion and other problems people are having with cheap materials or components, you wouldn't think they would screw you from both ends and charge through their arse for accessories.....
 
lol! i just knew someone would notice the stock moving and jump on it! looks like my man in a shed will modify my other seat then ..........ill get a price for a job lot of covers n lumps of foam!
 
wow...

well least iv already payed for mine!


btw, thats what Yamahas "Comfort" seat cost over here.

Was surprised SR one was so cheap


yours are not far off either
Comfort Design Seat - Genuine options - 1RC-247C0-00-00 - Yamaha Motor UK

They realized that they had cocked up when we were ordering urs actually...

Pete who u spoke to had to fax a previous invoice to Yamaha while they were on the phone to prove that they had already agreed the price of £85 and the guy said they wudnt let us have anymore at that price lol.

now, can you find some cheap akrapovic!

(with lazer markings, not the sticker)

Basically the seat is supposed to be in an extras pack but someone at Yamaha cocked up and let us have the seat individually and at cost price lol. They now have 8 packs that they can't sell because they are missing the seat. Oh btw... that's the reason why there is no MT-09 logo on it....it's because it wasn't meant to be in this country at all...

Bloody he'll tt what have you done lol
