I put close to 300 miles on mine one day and was completely comfortable. The new seat is such an improvement over the old stock seat.

I can't find a deal on one here in NM so if/when I buy one it's gonna have to come from the east coast. Should be a fun road trip...

Done a couple 100 milers so far(500 miles total).This bike is THE premier zx.Quick handling...solid...stable...smooth as glass.Ergos are perfect(for me)(6'1"...175 lbs).Legs felt great...no discomfort.Arms felt relaxed.Back felt excellent.Way better than my 07 which was modded with Genmars,Buell lowered pegs,and a Connie seat mind you.Like Bob said...the new seat is remarkably comfortable.They definitely listened when they designed this one.
I just went out and did some suspension adjusting.Will see how she does next ride.Firmed everything up just a bit."for higher speeds with good roads"(no passenger)

I just got back from my first long'ish ride: 260'ish miles. Very nice. I'll probably do an ST screen of some sort and that's it for comfort. Brock's shorty CT/Smeg should be here Tue. or Wed. and I'll get the PC-V, map, and air filter once Brock has all that sorted out. Some fiddling w/the stock suspension will get me where I need to go. It's not a litre bike and that's a good thing for me (I've sworn them off, lest I kill myself.). No complaints for any reasonable street use I can think of, provided you're a sportbiker and understand where the bike is coming from.

2000km on mine now, coming off an 03 busa the bike is way smoother and a little more comforatble.
It is also faster.
Only issue I am noticing is that there is more vibration my hands than previous. But not a real problem just more than the busa.

I did about 200 miles yesterday through some country back roads with plenty of twisties. The bike is the perfect. I can't imagine it being more comfortable along with handling that I believe is going to surprise a lot of people, (depending upon expectations). I can easily muscle this bike around 40mph twisites at a rapid pace and power out of the curves like nothing else on the road. Damn near perfect motorcycle.

Very comfortably, smoothly, and refined, while she's at it. I believe someone referred to it as "The Velvet Sledgehammer." I like it.

The Second gen should be more comfortable than the gen1!
I rode my Gen1 to the OzarXX meet twice from Madison, WI.
