Modern Vespa

Anyone ever use one of these Yankee camel style seats before? Any opinions on their comfort? I have been looking at them for years thinking about one and I am worried that the middle hump would be uncomfortable for how I sit. I tend to sit a little further back on the seat, about in the middle of the pad itself, not right up at the front of the seat and after looking at this seat for a few minutes tonight it dawned on me that I might be sitting right on the middle hump in my preferred positioning.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has used one and have any opinions about this or other comfort aspects of it?

I've got nothing specific about this seat Swiss, but being 6'3" I end up sitting right where that hump is, so I prefer a straight bench. The old school P200 seats suck also because the spring tower is right where I like to sit, so I've either got to deal with the spring towers, or slide way forward, or back. Both doable but uncomfortable.

Which is why I like a straight foam padded seat. The GTS250 used to drive me crazy. I modded the crap out of it and it still was uncomfortable cause of the hump. I'd rather go for a plank seat then a comfy seat with a hump any day.

My 2 cents...

I'm only 6', but i'm still concerned about myself sitting on that hump as well. It sure wasn't comfortable with the old P seats for sure. Those springs were in a bad spot for me. I was kinda hoping to find one of those Yankee seats in a solid red color (to go on my red '05 PX)...and if not red, then maybe a white? Only problem is that with living in the wet PacNW the white wouldn't stay white for long.

My Brazilian PX came standard with a similar seat. Its comfy if you dont sit in middle. I like to sit farther back. i have an Ancilotti style one that is replacing it.

ive used similar for about 15 years... once you get used to sitting in the position, its actually quite a comfortable ride. done several hundred mile trips all around the uk on it.

it only really comes into its own if you have a pillion passenger. with that style seat they dont end up taking all the space where you need to sit

I dont really need it for the pillion rider, but I do like the way it looks, and it seems like a better seat for touring as it looks thicker. But I do think I'll be sitting right on the camel hump. I measured where I sit on my standard seat and it looks like I'd be directly on the bump.

Back lines up with the socket extension I placed over the tape measure. around 17"

I'm 6'3" with stoopidly LOOOOONG legs, & use the Yankee

Here's a description of what I did to it eventually to customise the hump (& it's now insured for $1000 or so!)
Ode to Speedy - damn these expensive shopping trolleys! (Page 2)

That thread and bike was awesome! Love it. Especially love the big jump and the melty hubs!

Giving me second thoughts about writing off that rotted p125 frame I have!

Anyone know where you can order NISA seats? SIP has some listed, but most out of stock.. and the NISA website has better seats that SIP doesn't list. Hoping someone knows where you can place an order for specific seats either directly from NISA or another website that has all their most recent products available?

There is a new 2020 sport seat which has magnetic lock instead of the key lock which I am interested in:

no external seat lock. apparently magnetic lock hidden in it.

Email them, although they're slow to respond. They do PayPal...
