A good motorcycle seat makes all the difference, statement not opinion. If you have a comfortable seat, life is really good on your bike. Nothing is worse than a seat that is ill fitting, uncomfortable, and only allows you to ride a short period. I mean what's the point? My Honda VTX has a back rest and WOW, did it change my biking life. I can go 10 hours in the seat and still feel my legs and back without whimpering in pain. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older but I don't think I am alone in this revelation. I've spoken to multiple motorcycle owners who have back rests on their bikes and they also concur that they will never return to the traditional style motorcycle seat.
Now my Harley has more of a chopper style and so a back rest wouldn't fit it's look and feel. However that's not to say I can't have my seat customized for both comfort and look, which I plan to do as soon as the change in my piggy bank get's high enough. I might find a way to add a subtle curve that can act as a back rest. Example below from
