I thought the exact same thing. It's very comfortable aside from my ass being a little sore after more than 400 miles in a day.
Is the 899 the new ST?
Just did 1,200 km over the last three days, with the biggest day being 466 km. pleased to confirm no sore neck, shoulders or wrists. Bum felt a little of the pounding at the end of the 466 km but that is to be expected on some of the roads we took. I fitted the blaze panniers and they worked a treat. I'll be doing many more "touring" trips on the 899 and thoroughly recommend it is a very capable Sports Tourer - and dead sexier than my old ST4. So when am I going to ride my Multistrada?

This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I don't like city riding (too many **** drivers) and when I get out I tend to go 400+ kms per day. Getting my 899 next week and the weather is finally starting to warm up here. It is coming with the comfort seat so maybe that will help a little.
