To each their own, if a brown seat is what someone likes, then that's what they should have. I have no idea why I find brown (tan) seats so attractive in cars but not at all on motorcycles. It's purely a gut reaction.
This has long been my assumption as such seats appear to be plentiful around here in Portland which is hipster central. I just figured the brown seats were more of an accessory item to compliment the color of their ample facial hair. (Man, life would be tough for me these days if I were still a young man — I've never really been able to grow a beard, lol.) While we do have countless bikes running around here with brown seats (including plenty of old CBs) no disrespect intended towards anyone here who really digs their brown saddle. As far as the two-wheeled hipsters go, well I figure that if they're into motorcycles then that makes at least one thing we have in common.
