Im sure other bikes are more comfortable for long hauls but i wouldnt fet rid of my sporty for anthing out there at the moment. And this is when we pulked back in tge driveway after 4300 miles. East tn to Wy and tent camped the whole way. My wife never wiped the smile off to complain once. And i have done over 800 miles in a day with a mustang seat but i wont lie, the wind at 80-85 wore my neck out. Anyway, it was all part of it. I ride her to work most days and have made several long trips.
