red seat

[Benhur Malta]

Can one of you guys who is old enough to remember please confirm which r1150gs years were issued with the red seats...

Mine is a 2000 year titan silver...but it came with 2 seats - a black number and a red sear....which would have been the factory one please?

thanks

I think it may have been an option - I've seen bikes with the same colour scheme and different colour seats (mostly black/red seat and silver/red seat).

It definitely came with red seats but black may also have been an option

 

[Benhur Malta]

so red seats would have been the default option??

Well, I bought my first 1150gs new in early 2000, it was silver an had red seats.

If you use one of the VIN decoders, it should list the original spec the bike left the factory with.
In my case, my 2000 Silver 1150GS is shown as having a "X754 Adjustable seat bench, black"
