For those of you that sat on and/or rode the new 600/750's, I wanna know about the comfort level, is the seat better/worse than the 07's? What about passenger seat, same question?

Thanks.

i just saw the 600 yesterday, i didnt dare sit on it. as it just arrived and he was still putting it together, but the rider seat looks better with new tank and position, but i must say the tail is much smaller then older models, and the back seat looks small and hard to sit on, my girls only like 115lbs so i shouldnt have a problem, but i think once u get to 140 lbs u need a new seat and girlfriend

Seriously though... for those of you that get/sit on one I'd really like to know about the comfort level, especially the passenger seat.

im dead serious, the rider seat is amazing i sat on a 600.

and the passanger seat, i didnt sit, but the newer models keep getting worse for passangers, just look compared to 10 years ago.

basicly it wont be nice for passangers

The reason I ask is because I like my wife to be comfortable too because I like her to ride with me. That may be a deciding factor with me getting an 07 leftover instead.

theres not going to be much difference in the 07 and 08, im talking like 90s models are way more cumfortable,

The 07 has a really plush passenger seat, that's why I'm interested in what the 08 is like. I think they're a lot different.

I rode with my lady on the back for over an hour today and she said it felt exaclty the same as the 06 comfort wise. She said the tail seems a bit higher though. She is super short and couldnt see above my helmet before, and now she can see....a tiny bit, haha.

My wife is 4'8" and I'm 6' so that makes a difference too.

i got a chance to sit on an 08 and was not really able to tell much difference in it compared to the 07, but sitting on and riding are different.

i sat on my new k8 600 today, didnt ride. sitting on it, i felt like valentino rossi setting lap times in italy, compared to sitting on my rs125
