The most common type of motorcycle seat is a dual saddle or bench seat, which runs along the top of the chassis and is long enough for a [[pillion passenger]] to straddle the motorcycle behind the rider. Two detached seats, rather than one elongated one, were more common until the mid 20th century. A single, or solo, seat is only large enough for the rider. They are typical of [[racing motorcycle|racing]], [[off-road motorcycle|off-road]], and many historic motorcycles. In [[motorcycle trials]], the bikes have no seating at all, as the rider remains standing on the footpegs for the entire competition. |

A motorcycle seat (sometimes saddle) is where rider sits, and may also accommodate a passenger.
The most common type of motorcycle seat is a dual saddle or bench seat, which runs along the top of the chassis and is long enough for a pillion passenger to straddle the motorcycle behind the rider. Two detached seats, rather than one elongated one, were more common until the mid 20th century. A single, or solo, seat is only large enough for the rider. They are typical of racing, off-road, and many historic motorcycles. In motorcycle trials, the bikes have no seating at all, as the rider remains standing on the footpegs for the entire competition.
