The stock setup is fine, but investing in some upgrades really makes a world of difference. I fitted a gel seat pad, changed the suspension, and went with a larger windscreen. So now I can ride all day without problems.

It depends on your body type, I think. I'm 6'2" and find the ergonomics to be perfect for me. After an hour, my shorter friend tried it and felt cramped. If you are planning to tour, definitely test ride it for a good distance before buying.

It's all about expectations. It's quite comfy for a cruiser, but not Gold Wing plush. I did a 1000 km weekend trip and was ok with regular breaks. The trick is to get off that seat now and then and stand up on the pegs.

After 2 hours I found it uncomfortable. You feel every bump in the suspension which is too stiff. I was stopping to stretch out frequently. Perhaps I have to dial the preload back or purchase a better aftermarket seat.

Last month I took mine on a 500 km ride and it was comfortable enough overall. The ride position is relaxed and the seat is decent. But, after about 300 km my back did start to ache a bit, as it does on most bikes.
