I know the specs say it is leather, but is there some sort of waterproof membrane made into the leather so water will bead off? I would imagine so.

The seat no longer is shown on the duc web site as being leather so I guess it is waterproof

Cool, thanks for that...but what about the exhaust options? I've seen prices listed for the 2-2 and 2-1, but nothing for the full Termignoni high mount. Also have seen more hard type carriers from Ducati official shown but not in an accessories brochure. I'm guessing they're finalizing all the accessories and haven't gotten them all out there yet.

ouu, good find friend!

So the leather seat is not water resistant? Is there material options for the seat?

I just ordered my Classic in Germany, and the Sales Guy told me its a fake Leather seat. So i guess the seat is waterproof

 

[PeteI]

Thanks and WOW! Prices are pretty high on some stuff. I guess I like to get paid too! haha

My Classic was under heavy (very heavy!) rain yesterday and it's perfectly fine. No water in the seat or anywhere on the bike. I can say that it's waterproof.

The classic seat IS made of leather - and it IS treated to be waterproof.

The first time you get it wet, you will see the waterproofing treatment appear as a slightly "milky" looking substance.

I have FAUX leather on my Classic.

It's weird that there's a discrepancy. Is it a hybrid seat like a Corbin? The part I sit on is leather but the back and sides are black vinyl.

You may be on to something here...

Also, leather is waterproof. Otherwise cows would melt.
