Its not as bad as it looks. I just put the DP comfort seat on and I'm still breaking it in but put on about 120 miles Sunday and no issues for me anyway, a little monkey butt which is expected IMO when riding any motorcycle over 50 miles. I ride on a motorcycle a lot however so I might be slightly more used to be sitting in a saddle then some. (Around 20,000 miles a year to give you an idea) I'm not going to tell you that it is the most comfy seat ever but I think 300-400 mile days would be manageable. With the small tank you are forced to get off the bike to fill it up around 90-100 miles so you get a little break. No problems with the lower back at all. As I stated I just replaced the seat with the comfort seat and I only have a few hundred miles on it. My stock seat was broken in a little more and seemed more comfy but I need to log a few thousand on this seat before I can tell which is better. Hope that helps..........
