If it is ergonomically structured, then it would envelope good posture around you. The only bad thing, like needed on a motorcycle, it may not allow multiple positions to get the blood flowing to parts that you have been sitting on for a while.
I did see where it originally was supposed to be DOHC with 70hp, and now it is SOHC wiht 55hp (which would more closely match the gas characteristics of non-ethanol gas: more torque and less max hp.) So they are sharpening their pencils to make it work. SOHC and 55hp would be fine if it could do over 100mph with 15" tires (the cheap tires :-) It should be exciting in the next year. Sometimes the most exciting new things are things revisited after one hundred years (with technological improvements of course.)
