Thats the first comment I get from anyone that sits on my bike after riding a R1/6, GSXR, ZX6/10, or CBR, "man this thing is comfortable"
Very true, but that's only an advantage if you're looking specifically for comfort. My nuts are rarely in line with the tank, so it's not as much of an issue. Plus, I had a friend who shaved a little off the back of his seat and flattened it out and basically achieved the same thing. Honestly if I was going to buy a buell for comfort it would be a Uly. I know Buell is all about doing their own thing, but with the amazing looking 'fighters' out there like the SuperDuke (Sex on wheels!)/Speed Trip/Tuono I think they could have done a better job, hell I think the old SuperHawk looks better, and it has sidemount radiators.
