First day out
Yesterday, got my bike registered and road maybe 100 miles. I'm 5' 8" about 140lbs and the bike is an absolute monster. I hit 130+ some on the freeway. Hit up some twisties on a dark foogy road like an idiot and almost lost it into some cat tails. The power of the bike is awesome but, Its pretty uncomfortable for me. I'm gonna look finto an aftermarket seat and maybe different handlebar setup. I'm used to my 1975 cb550 which is real comfortable.

I have a Corbin seat and heli bars - both made a big difference in comfort for both my butt and my wrists 
. There are other bar options you can use like VFR and you should find info/pics in the archives.
