I know a lass with a Z1000, they make a good girls bike in that colour  :stir:

I've ridden one & didn't think it was that uncomfy, but I only did about 5 miles because I really didn't like it.

Oh that cuts like a knife   :facepalm:

If you knew the lengths that I had to go to to get the last Candy Burnt Orange and Diablo Metalic Black Z1000 in England...

Never had a problem touring on the Katana, mind you, that was 32 years ago and prior to fracturing 4 vertebrae.
I still have a pair Wes Cooley replica Aria from the 80's, colours suited my RZ500.

I've had a couple of katanas when I was younger and loved the riding position..but I've got to say the most uncomfortable bike I've ever had was probably the best bike I've ever had too.....I hadn't long been out of hospital after bike crash ..so that obviously didnt help...but my Harris magnum was crippling.. my knees were in my armpits and the lean forward on a newly plated wrist was excruciating. Anything over 30 miles and I couldnt get off it...dropped it in a garage forecourt once because I couldnt get my foot off the peg when I'd stopped at the pump...loved that bike :rofl2:

Out of the ones I currently own this is probably my least comfortable, but I still love it.

Back in 70s, Mate had H2 750 Kawasaki. Great bike stock, we often swapped, i had GT750s. He decided to fit some huge tank, clip ons and a racing type seat. That was the worst ive ridden. Reaching to bars, tank was touching my guts, only skinny then, every vibe thru body, no tacho needed, literally a gut feel.  :grin: Then the weight on wrists, would last 2 minutes these days, Seat was like sitting on a vibrating file, then total cramp in legs, stock foot pegs, not rear sets, far too forward for that position. Bloody quick bike, so un controllable due to pain, position etc. Loved it to ride, just not at all friendly.

As I broke my neck In a car crash in 1991 any sports bike is a no no for me ..
The worse I had a go on was a zxr750rr I could hardly walk after 5 miles on it .
Worse bike I owned was a zzr1100d3
only a slightly modified gsx1400
oh and a standard one too

Pic of H2 is pretty much my mates bike i posted about yesterday. This one at least has rear sets.

My 1973 Triumph Bonneville 650 - god that saddle was like a plank of wood all those years ago  :lol:

Next uncomfortable - sad to say it, but probably my GSX1400, was a lot better after I had it modified to round off the edges and had a gel pad inserted
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

I've not ridden many bikes
But the GSX is the worst
Someone had a go at the seat and its terrible
Hopefully fix that soon and get to enjoy it more

1. Harley Sportster
2. RGV250/KR1-S (equally awful)
3. ZXR750
GSX1400 is like a two wheeled Jason Recliner IMO - never had a more comfortable bike (once I changed the bars, anyway).
