Sargent finally has their V-Strom seat ready.
They will begin taking orders the last week of March, and it will retail for $379.
For those of you who haven't been at their site in a while, they have a few nice pictures of the seat. Interestingly, they have said that it will be the same height as the 650 seat (which some won't like, but it makes sense since nearly every other manufacturer makes the seat taller, and no one is catering to the shorter guys).
It looks a lot like the Corbin, but the seat seems much flatter and doesn't appear that it's going to push you toward the tank and um....."crush" things. :D
They've even added a storage compartment under the seat (they use their own pan, so you don't have to send yours in to them).
Anyway, check it out here: http://sargentcycle.com/suzwsvstrom.htm
I'll be ordering one, and will report back to this thread with observations.
