The seat itself was quite comfortable, more so than the Yamaha seat when I rode that a few years ago. There's an optional touring seat, too, for really long rides, but I didn't have that. The rear suspension adjusts to accommodate the weight of a passenger or a bunch of luggage.

Although you pay the price for all of this power in terms of average fuel economy (ours was just 36.5 mpg with a variety of riding styles and loads), the bike's nicely sized 5.8-gallon tank gives it a range of more than 200 miles.
