what's your height, weight and age...

5'11" 240lbs 25 years old. Flat stomach. I have no problems riding my beauty hard and long. Smashed out over 300kms yesterday with no problems. The only problem I can get is when I'm putting too much weight on my knee when leaning her over. But that's a problem with my tendonitis, not the bikes ergonomics.
 
+1 on back & neck problems... streetbike actually more comfortable that cruisers, which I tend to slump over where as streetbike I maintain better / more comfortable posture. Hand / wrist discomfort biggest complaints but another think that I'm use to from riding motorcycles and bicycles. 6'0" 220lbs 28yrs
 
Here's a little trick that might help some of you out, that have your hands going numb when riding. While maintaining a grip of the handlebars, I turn my elbow in, until it touches the top edge of the gas tank. Maintain this position for 30-45 seconds and the numbness should go away. It feels kind of awkward but it works for me!! Try it next time you go for a ride.
 
Thanks for the tip.

I'm 5'10", 175 lbs, 60 years old and ride a S4Rs Tricolore.

It took a bit of fiddling to get the bars adjusted just right, but I regularly do 600 km+ days.

Only thing I notice is numb thumbs - sometimes for days afterward.
 
5'-5", 60 years old, 185 lbs if I stay away from the table a few days! (Might try and come back to 160 lbs at least one more time before I clock out for good)

It doesn't matter what bike I ride or have rode, 100 miles and I am ready to do something else different....period. Riding is a thrill but after 46 years of always having a bike there are plenty of other things to do for entertainment. The bike ain't going no where!

The only thing that bothers me on the 100 mile rides is my wrists aching and wanting to get numb. Started wearing elastic wrist supports and that has helped a bunch on giving some strong support to the wrists.

The bike was a beach to hold up when stopping or trying to get on and off if on any werid angle grade until I lowered it a 1/2 inch in the rear. Feels great now and I have complete control now on any stop and do not have to pick my stopping or starting spots...lol

The seat body is still wider than I would prefer....looks good but it to, is a beach to get one's "short" leg over. One needs loose fitting britches to keep from looking dorky when lifting the leg over. Wear to tight of britches and the leg can get stuck in mid-air and refuse to fall over to the other side...one can look like a dog taking a leak, as I say...real dorky looking.

May try a gel seat later on but butt fat I got covered....at least for that magic 100 miles.
