Is there really a difference I might care about in the five speed compared to the six?
The six is much smoother at highway speeds and generally gets better fuel mileage.
Will a reflash really add that much more power and quality to the ride?
Some more power. Quality is subjective. Not sure why you would be concerned about it this, though. The bike is quick enough as is, especially for someone committed to riding it "carefully".
Is the stock seat ok or will I have to get an aftermarket to really feel comfortable? I always got upgraded seats on my modern bikes. The DLX gel seat looks nice but the Samurider ones look really nice!
Comfort is subjective. I like my stock seat well enough to only give the occsional look at the various aftermarket seat threads on the forum. I suggest riding the bike for a few months before to see how you like the stock seat and, if you decide to look to the aftermarket, look back to the forum for opinions.
It's a great bike.
