As uncomfortable as it looks I think it would be better than an original Z1 seat.  But I have to admit that a lot of my discomfort was caused by arthritic hips, both of which have been replaced by spiffy new ball and socket joints.  Much easier to sit nowadays.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I guess at least after a day in the saddle of your motorcycle you don't need to massage "nut butter" into your delicate parts

So do you spread it on your nuts???



 
indeed you do, still I'm not surprised if you had been sitting on this all day. "Improved comfort"

That bike seat looks more like some kind of torture device.

Maybe squirrel nut butter in your local, but here in the US of A we use this!
