Not daily, but I find myself riding more because lane splitting is legal in Cali and it saves me about ~20 minutes on my morning commute. However if I'm really tired then I'll just take the car.

As far as comfort goes, it's the main reason I bought the bike.




Look how the sides of my seat wrap around the top. I'm sitting more "in" the bike rather than "on" it. The CBR seat is just flat and sharp on the edges.

And seeing as I just rode ~300 miles this past weekend, I took the car for the past 3 days... Maybe I'll ride tomorrow if I feel like it.

Well, if you're worried about comfort but still want that 'sportbike' look, check out a vfr800? It's a little more engine than your inline 4 600cc sportbikes but, it's a V4 configuration. So it's a little more forgiving if you were ever come across those, 'oh crap I'm gonna die' moments. I'm actually thinking about this one myself if I don't get a standard as my next mc(if I sell my current one). This might not be the best of starting bikes but eh.... what do I know?
