Hi.

In 2005 I did 3000 mi on a GSXR 750. Victoria B.C. - Winnipeg Manitoba and back. I hurt for days... my back, my legs, my wrists and fingers buzzed for a couple weeks, and some fingers were numb. Great ride, hell on the body.

Two weeks ago, I did about the same Victoria B.C. to Santa Barbara, CA and back on my hawk. Stock seat, stock bars. The bike performed beautifully, I stretched every time I stopped for gas, and my legs, arms, back, neck, *** and everything really were ok. I'm upgrading to a Corbin seat, and am thinking about different bars, but I had no pain in my wrists, and no numbness or buzzing, and I don't have a throttle lock, or a rocker (plastic piece that fits on the throttle grip). I think with the adjustments it would be even more comfortable! I'm 6.0' 165lbs. It was an awesome ride!
