Your most uncomfortable bikes

**bogan** · 18th July 2012, 22:46

So who here has done a journey that was physically uncomfortable, and what size rider/bike?

I'll go first, 84 VT250F2, 1.8m rider, 100km between stretch stops. Was it worth the fun to be had on such a nimble bike through the twisties at the end of it, hell yes! Glad to be on a bigger (though not by much) bike now though.

Looks comfortable enough to me...

Rode a 39cc Chinese dirt bike, and I'm nearly 2m tall. I ended up putting my arms underneath my knees while riding it, as that was the most comfortable.

I rode a Honda Z50 and fell off when the handle bar hit my knee well before full lock.

My most uncomfortable in my limited ridng experience so far has been 250cc sports/road bikes. Cramped legs and craned neck just don't do it for me...

riding one of my X7 s (ive owned five) with a mate on the back with a pack on his back from wellington to new plymouth

every time i accelerated or went up hill he tried to pull me off the back of the bike

every time i braked,slowed down or went down hill he crushed my balls into the tank

no wonder i now talk funny and cant stand up straight for long

Pillioned on an 883 Sporty from Warkworth to Paeroa return for the BOT many years ago. The Sporty was fitted out with a "bitch pad" instead of something a pillion would want to spend a few hours sitting on. By the time we were half way home I could not feel my feet on the pegs or my poor bum on the seat. I was simply in a world of pain. Actually made him stop in Orewa (1/2 hour or so to home) and told him I was walking the rest of the way LOL.

Kawasaki ZR750,the only thing on it not painted "bland" was the rock hard seat

a slammed harley nightster from Auckland to Nelson in one day. Had to have it surgically removed from my bottom

1100km on an SV650S, in a little over 24 hours.

Those things have a board for a seat. Made of teak I think.

Try 1400 odd Kms (Hamilton to top of Cape Reianga and back) in 2 days on a DR650. Gives new meaning to wooden plank seat

I got this!

Rode a nifty50 with a damaged seat from Palmy to Newplymouth and back again, just cos a mate dared me too (I had to drop off a tent to another mate & my GPZ900 was being rebuilt at the time) only stopping for petrol, then turned around....and rode straight back

....the nifty50 died just as I rode back into palmy

(burnt a hole through the piston, easy fix)
