Funny you should mention that. I spent three weekends this summer up in the
North Carolina hills on an R1100RS rented from Agogo and I found it less
comfortable than my ST with Genmar risers. The BMW seat wasn't too bad for
me or the Lovely Ballast and there's a bit more room down to the footpegs on
the BMW than on the ST, but the vibration through the bars gave me sore
hands & wrists. I suppose everyone has their own ideal ergonomics, but I'd
rather be riding the ST - and it's a lot more fun!
