| to anyone who has put on some miles, hows the seat buzz, and bar buzz? I've had a sportster and a softtail custom, and after 50 miles I don't want to ride any more, any thoughts?

| | I have ridden the Xb9R which is the exact same bike and it was smooth at highway speeds. The only time you felt the rumble was when you stopped at a light and it would rumble a bit. I think you could ride hundreds of miles a day on this one. |

| Rubber mounts and better design make for a much better long ride. So far my longest ride was 100+ miles and only cold weather shortened my ride. Comfort is fine. Vibrations are fine at running speed but kick up when decelerating towards a stop. No big deal.

| Sportsters are rigid mounted. If it was a 99 or earlier Softail then it was rigid mounted motor as well. The rubber mounted engines have way less vibration. I have a M2 and an XB9r and neither rattle your bones.

| Nothing like a sportster. The bike is not buzzy at highway speed, and I much prefer riding it distance over my previous Kawasai Ninja (ow my back!).
