Hi all,
More comfortable on two wheels than on a keyboard - I've got about 80k road miles spread over the last couple of years or so between my 94 K75S, 07 F650GS and 87 Honda TLR200. The Honda NT700V's got about none, just can't get comfortable in an upright riding position. It'll probably end up getting it's release papers like the GS did.
Nothing compares to the comfort of the brick and it's where the vast majority of my miles are, but I did put on some Wilber shock and a slew of little things, aeroflow windscreen, motolights, enhanced brake and tail lighting etc. The ergonomics of the brick are what work for me, everything else is just polishing a diamond.
I do travel light, went to Alaska and looped around a bunch using just the stock sidecases. With room to spare for a full oil change. This was all brought with me from 35 years of bike touring and running multiple 10k mile motorized road trips, the (motor) cycle side is newer to me although I did ride trials when I was younger. I do bring with me an absolute need to be self-sufficient drilled in from a life of bicycle touring.
Glad to be here. :)
