I put a nice seat on my Husky. Aside from the wind blast on the highway, it's not all that bad.

A DS just doesn't compare to a bike that is setup for doing that type of riding. Going from my DRZ to my GS was a night and day difference.

The thing with DS is that there's too much dive and squat, IMO. Also, 7K redlines FTL.

No doubt. But my DS is a hell of a lot more comfortable on road trips than a sportbike.
