The bike I have I guess. I don't do alot of long distance riding so it works for what I use it for. For longer trips I'll just take the Z06.

The bike I have now (636) since it can do everything I want it to do. It wouldn't necessarily be the most comfortable but it could easily go from track to street to taking tours, etc.

Plus he's sexy as hell and I love him!

If there's one thing I've NEVER heard about the Hyper it's that its comfortable.

Have you sat on one? The bars are high up like a dirt bike and the pegs are low and more in front like a dirt bike.

In fact, I have not. So I'll take your word for it. I'm talking about reviews I've read. But It does certainly look like it wouldn't be uncomfortable. The seat probably sucks.

Noting a little extra seat foam and a staple gun couldn't fix.

Biggest issue is the tank size, don't those things have like a 3 gal tank?

I figured out the BMW I was thinking of, either the R1200S or the R1200S-based HP2 Sport:

R1200S:
