a comfort thing

I was wondering how many people choose comfort over more speed. When I had my gsxr 600 I loved the speed. The 500 just can't touch that.. but after riding the thing for two hours puts the need for speed down on the totem poll. That is why I love the 500. I wish it had a tad more power in the lower gears, but it is a fun bike. Put a couple hundred miles on it today riding the beach in hot florida.

Comfy to me is having your ride setup for you and you only. Suspension, tires, power band, braking setup. For that intended ride for that day. Why over exhaust yourself on a "bucking bronco?" Set up the ride for you.
