Hi to All

[Folbzbusa]

welcome to the family folbzbusa, i rode my 09 up to qld and back at the start of the year and did about 19 hours of riding on the trip home in one day and the only thing to complain about was my neck, wrist, and knees were sore because they were in the one position all day but like pete said, what one person finds comfy others might not, other than that they are a great bike over long distances and even great when you want to go out for a bit of fun on the weekends.
enjoy your new ride and if your ever in Vic and want a local to show you around all you need to do is ask

Cheers mate, ill take ya up on that when i get over that way !!

Hi Folbz,

Welcome!!

As far as comfort goes, its really a suck it and see. What I find comfy, others wouldn't and vice versa.

For example I find my Gen 1 about as comfy as my early R1 I owned. I rode the R1 5500km in 6 days and got off feeling good every time. Rode my busa 2500km in 2 1/2 days feeling just as good. Size matters too.
Thats my 4.25 cents worth (after GST).

Thanks for that info mate, got a few big rides planned for the next few years, Adelaide to Cannbera then up to Mackay and Adelaide to Darwin.
