Yeah, it definitely sounds like some hassle.
I looked up the seat on the rps site and it goes for $95 plus shipping cost. The tear in the seat is not a hugh deal now, but it will be as the bike gets used since it's on the edge of the seat right where your leg hits. It's funny how they state on their shipping notification email
"Avoid rejecting shipment at all costs! If there's a damaged part we will replace it"
It's funny because the seat cost 10% the price of the bike.
On another note... I was looking at the manual and it states that the chain is an O ring chain! I guess they pay attention to what the buyers are complaining about and make adjustments accordingly.
The bike seems worth every bit of $3 to $4K. Sure, there are some cheap parts, but it's pretty well built otherwise.
Here's a quirky thing... the steering can lock via the key, but the only problem is is that you can't get the key out of the ignition with the steering in the lock position... at least I can't on mine.
