First thought was 'how the hell are you supposed to ride this?' Although I daresay I'd get used to it.

I think this comfort thing must be down to individual body shape and perhaps age, as so many folk are saying their sports bikes are comfortable, but a full days riding in some of the stuff I've sat on, would make me hurt in places I didn't know I had.
You do need to be tall for the Tiger, I rode it a couple of weeks ago, and it was fine for me but I'm 6ft. Kilted Ginger struggled a bit, he's six foot also but he's longer in the body and shorter in the leg. The DRZ SM feels like climbing on a bl00dy horse!
