Furthermore, the seat seems to get better as time goes on. At first, I thought the seat was a bit too firm but at about 5000 miles I began to notice that the seat had conformed to my riding habits and to my posterior. My thoughts of purchasing a Corbin seat were forgotten. My passengers have generally raved about the generous accommodations. The front forks are compliant without being mushy and the rear suspension is firm but not harsh.
Nothing is more annoying and debilitating on a touring bike than vibration.
It is so smooth that after spending a few days riding you notice, when you get in most any car, that the car does tend to have a bit of vibration. Days of 600 or more miles are not a problem. This bike simply glides effortlessly over the miles, carrying the rider in amazing comfort. I think the explanation can be traced to the rather unique geometry at the rear of the seat. Where and how that impacts each rider depends on the size of the rider.
