Thanks bikerguy. Hope I don't have to do all those things to get a comfortable ride out of the bike.

mgmirabelli you sound like you got what I got. I got spurs on my neck but I haven't had any pain in a long time with my neck. I quit doing anything that jared my body. In other words, no more fun. I rode a wide glide for twelve years and that probably didn't help my back any. Thanks for your unput.

Tom, thanks for your suggestion on the Russell Daylong seat. I was comfortable on my ST except for the fact I could not get my feet flat on the ground. It was a big heavy machine. Lot's of power!!

Skeleton, thanks for your input. We might need to bring this up to the Honda folks and maybe they would put a better designed seat on the thing.

Thanks Maxwellian for your input. I'm 5 9 so maybe that will be to my advantage. You are having to reach furthur to reach the bars thinks to your heigth I suspect. I've sit on one and with my feet on the floor and it seemed like you go to the tank right off.

Thanks Sargeant Chuck. I was at a Honda shop today and sat on a NCX for a bit and talked to a salesman. The bike feels really light. I like that too. The last two bikes I've had were really heavy bikes. The seat didn't feel real good as I sat there. Seems like it needs to be wider. It is a...

dduelin, I been thru Virginia a few times but not by motorcycle but in a car. I was stationed in Aberdeen Maryland for AIT training just before I went to Vietnam. I agree with you on good riding in Virginia. Tenessee might be good too. I would like to go to Oregon one of these days. Passing thru...

Thanks itlives. I like Arkansas for riding my self. I went for a week of camping on a motorcycle at the mountain at Mena, Arkansas. I was with a couple that was on a Harley. They had a little camper they pulled behind the Harley that they slept in. We rode out every day in a different...

Thanks OldJeff, I had a Corbin on my WideGlide and I loved it. It was a old used seat but it still had a lot of life in it. It had a back rest for me also as it did for a passenger. A really nice set up.

itlives, I see you are just down the road from me here at Lake O pines. What is the Dragon run?

Thanks Cyclerosis for your input. The ride generally makes what pain there is all worth it.

Thanks Lou. I will check out the seat reviews if I get this bike and don't like the seat. It won't take long in the summer heat to find out. That ST I had, you rode with a lean to it as you are stating and that was probably why it was fine. It only had one way to sit and it was right on. That...

10 4 on the seat. The seat don't look to bad. That Harley I had, had a seat full of buttons and was narrow. The first summer I replaced that right off. Bought a used one and it made all the difference but I never could ride that machine for no more than a hour without resting. I loved riding...

Thank you Dave, that is helpfull. I just don't want to buy and later wish I hadn't bought. I read some stuff last night on this site of trips some of the folks here have taken. None of them complained of body pains and that was a good sign. I'm a Honda fan. I started out on a Honda 50 Super...

I'm wondering what the NC700X rides like. Is it easy on the back parts? I have a problem back. My last bike was a Wide Glide Harley and it was tough on the back. I'm 63 and the back is paying me back now for misusing it!! The smoothest bike I ever road was a Honda ST1100. That was pure...
