If you are looking for a complete seat then this price seems about right.

How big is a bloody big hole and how much of the sponge have you burnt?

If you haven't burned much of the sponge or can pack it out it's realy easy to recover yourself. Unlike a lot of bikes you can buy the seat cover material for the XTX/R as a spare part. It seems to be �30-50 depending on year and colour, and you'll the forementioned big stapler (maybe �10 from Wicks).

I changed mine a few months back and it only took about half an hour. If you need to fill a gap in the sponge a soft furnishings shop will probably have something suitable.
