Gotta say the GSX1400 is super comfy. I have done up to three hour stints without a problem. Sometimes my knee gets stiff but thats cos its knackered anyway, Everyone I speak to with a 1400 really rates the comfort and ease of riding, ok so it is not the best handling bike in corners but you gotta love the power on tap, so point and squirt ;D

My new triumph tiger is great on the long distances.

800 by any chance?
Just did 1000+ miles in 3 days while on a short tour of Scotland. My left leg started to ache a little after the 300+ mile mark each day, but a quick stop and stretch I am fine again. Remarkably comfortable bike for distances - which was the reason why I bought it!
But for me, a couple of things to bear in mind though, such as plenty of fluids to keep hydrated. Stop regularly and have a stretch (I was aiming for a stop at least every 100 miles or so - which is about an every 90 to 180 minutes). Plenty of shifting around too, from left to right side on the bum!

Having got back from the Bude trip that was the 1st long ride on my Z1000 since getting her, can report that I had no complaints or aches anywhere. 8-)

Ive ridden the Bandit to work a few times and I know now that I made the right choice in buying the kwaka for commuting... The Bandit riding position is just ever so slightly forward for me and by the time I reach the office Im crippled.
I guess everyone is different and what suits one is not necessarily suitable for another.
