Yes important to have a comfortable ride. The FZ750 Yammy I had years back was state of the art at the time, but really hard on the arse after 1.5 hours on the road. No tourer. By contrast my earlier...

It was fascinating as a very young fella watching the development of the jap machines. Very early 60s ones like the little Honda 125...
