I have a 650 and it has a really dreadful seat. I've added extra foam and that allowed me to go from 30 minutes to 35. I'm going to look at raising it in the front. One thing I did do that helps is that I put a crash bar on it. Then I put pegs on the crash bar. I'm fairly long legged with size 13 feet and this made riding much more comfortable. My feet are on the front pegs most of the time and this actually helps the tush. I guess it changes the angle. I wish there were an easy way to move the shifter and brake pedals up with the forward pegs. My morning commute is about 35 minutes and I've pretty much decided that if I want to take a longer ride, it will need to be on a bigger bike-- with the foot controls toward the front.
