RE: New from Albany Ny
Welcome to the forum, Dfavata!

I'll represent the other end of the spectrum here. I make the run back to my folks in Kansas once or twice a year, 750 mi. straight thru, usually on my old Guzzi 850 T3. Yes, I get tired, but my seat never bothers me. I could be completely wrong, but I attribute that "iron butt" ability to many years of riding a Brooks Pro hard leather saddle on my bicycle. I just don't seem to have a problem with seats.

At the moment, I do not have a CB1100 yet. I've been astride one on the show room. The seat feels narrow and firm, just the way I like it! If I get the bike, I will change the handlebars. It's all about wrist angle for me, and the stock bars just don't do it for me.

At any rate, welcome to the forum! There's a bunch of really knowledgeable people here, very enthusiastic about our particular choice of bike. Be sure to use the search function, I've answered a lot of my questions with info in the archives.

It's all practice.....
