Recently purchased a Sargent Cycle Products seat specifically designed for the BMW 1200 GS. While it was a little costly, after feeling the affects of a long drive weeks prior when going down to South Carolina, I realized its an expense you don't skimp on. As you can see from the comparisons from the stock seat it has "less" thickness to it but if you notice the butt is more "cup shaped" allowing it to actually hold your butt on the seat. With the stock seat your butt kind of sags off each side that eventually cuts off blood flow thus resulting in a painful ride. Only time and 7,000 miles will tell if this was the right choice.
