100% agreed. I was actually looking for a naked SV but they are harder to find, and an S model came up that was simply too good to miss.
I'm 5'11" with long arms and my wrists used to KILL me after an hour's riding when I first got the bike. I re-thought the way I sat on the bike and focused on avoiding 'slumping' and keeping my back straight, which made a big difference and stopped my wrists aching.
So I could then ride for more than 90 minutes at a time. But then the standard seat made my **** go into a coma after 2 hours riding. So I got a Suzi gel seat from another SVer. I now love my S
