How is the stock seat on the Shadow Sabre? I am trying to decide between the 750 Aero and the 1100 Sabre. It seems many people find it necessary to upgrade the seat on the 750 so I am wondering if the 1100 seat is better.

The stock seat is fine. But it on high(400+) miles days it gets uncomfortable. I have a Cobra seat on my '02 Sabre and I like it alot. Plus you'll be happier with the 1100 than the 750 powerwise.

The stock seat initially seemed OK for me as a single rider. When I started riding my wife along she complained and I opted for a Mustang seat - what a difference! I didn't know that changing the seat would make that big of a difference for me - the best $400 I've spent. Helps lower fatigue and improve leg comfort for long rides, and of course passenger comfort. Highly recommend you upgrade seat before other add-ons

I don't mind the seat on the sabre, but most of what I have read from those who probably ridse all day long, all the bike seats need to be changed out fronm the stock to a custom

The seat is ok, but the power on the 750 is low. If you plan on ridding 2 up the Sabre would be a better choice. I just traded a 1100 Sprit with 74k miles on it and it had never been in the Shop except for tires. Hard to go wrong with Honda.

The stock seat on my 2001 Sabre began hurting my back after only riding for two hours. I purchased a Mustang seat and drove over 3000 miles in one week while touring through the Rockies. Best money ever spent! My next bike will have a Mustang seat as well.
