The more I think about it the more I don't like my fz1. Don't get me wrong, they are great bikes, but for me they are not comfortable. I rode a R6 for 3 years before selling it for my FZ1, and I was more comfortable on the R6! It's crazy and from most people I've spoken with they cannot believe me. I did 800 mile ride in 2.5 days on my R6 with the longest leg of the ride at about 350 miles and I was fine, but I can't do 150 miles on the fz1 without pain in my lower back/ tailbone area. That's with or without the Corbin I had.
Looked at the new R1 yesterday and guy at dealership knew exactly what I was talking about. He explained same pains and symptoms from riding friends bikes over his R1 on distances and said he rides his R1 over 1500 miles every year just fine.
I like my fz1 but I ultimately want to be comfortable when I ride. Has anyone experienced the same issues or came from a sport bike like a R6 and also had same pains?
I'm open to spending some $ to make the fz1 more comfortable but I don't want to just throw cash at it to try to fix something if it can't be fixed. BTW - that ride on R6 was stock seat and I prefer stock fz1 seat over that Corbin I had.
