having used several models of both front and rear seats on several bikes, 3 things:
1. they're all fine, but some are finer than others.
2. steering-column fixed front mount seats impart greater steering stability, while rear mounts can make the steering feel light/twitchy. front mounts are unbeatable for quality interaction.
3. see #1.
