I hate to disagree, but I find it quite the opposite, I like the cruising
posture of sitting more upright, and the wider seat more comfortable, but each
of us has his own style and each are built different.

| Tim, I don't remember if we ever talked about seats and bars, but you may find that a solo saddle and bigger bars will make you tire faster. I find I last longer if I sit on my thighs, leaning slightly forward. I have tried cowhorn bars on an Eldo (mine) and I found I couldn't ride as long because I was sitting straight up, and puting all my (considerable) weight on my sacro-whatever. Very tiring. I even owned a Police Kawasaki once, and I hated it. I then bought a 500 BMW, which had the regular bars, much like my Ambo, and I could, once again, ride distance comfortably. From here to San Diego was not even tiring. So if you find you can't ride as long, that is probably why.
