Not happy with it. Wish the center bump was farther back.

I don't like the angel on the seat. I slide forward so have to sit and push back with the feet.
This angel seems like the norm on scooters.

Very uncomfortable but doesn't bother me anymore....  ;)

The Super 8 is best for 2 up riding.........

In the beginning of the season i was so worried about how uncomfortable was especially about the passager seat, i was about to change the look to combine with the color of s8 red and black and add some more sponge
but the plan failed i will check some ideas on internet and soon i'll modify ;)

Well, when my '09 was new I found the seat hard, and I was sliding forward all the time, so I bungied a soft lambskin pillow to the sitting area, did that for about 2 years.  Now that the scooter is 3 years old it seems the seat has softened up a bit so I now ride it without the cushion.

I plan to get ahold of some camoflouge material and cover the seat to give it a different look.  I see on Ebay there are a few dealers in England that sell covers for our seats in a few different colors, but I plan to DIY it.

That picture of the purple seat looks great.

It's angle not angel:)   Of course it would be cool if you had an ANGEL on your seat!

Most of these seats aren't made for full size American Butt's but for little ASIAN ones.

If it wasn't for the stupid so called back rest on scooter's they would be more comfortable.
