I don't find it that bad for the distance it will go on gas, as long as you can move around on the seat.

Straight flat going sucks.

I can see it being good when railing the twisties, but the ride home from the dealer was abit brutal, 200 or so miles all on the interstates.

Tommy is 12 feet tall so moving isn't gonna do much for this guy.



And there have been complaints over past Buell seats. Erik says if the bike is ridden the way it's meant to be ridden than the seat is not a problem.

10k is probably what I will do, don't have any major trips planned, so it will be the usual mileage. Already at 700 from just January 1st.

That's a solid start compared to my 22 miles thus far. I was thinking that you would fall into the 15K category at least.
