I am most satisfied with the quoted price...However, aside from that, I am wondering about comfort seeing as how I am 79 years old, and although very spry for my age (and I have several bikes). I rode the bike in question and it was beyond wonderful. I only rode if for 20 minutes and it felt comfy...I am wanting to get feedback on those who have ridden it longer with a STOCK seat.
My question is, what is your opinion of comfort on this stock seat for a ride of an hour or more?
Thank you for your opinions.

I have the same bike and have used both the stock seat and a Corbin gunslinger seat.
The stock seat sits on a shelf in my garage.
I alternated the two seats at various times and this is my opinion: The stock Honda seat is actually nice for short local rides. It's very plush, but any rides over 30-60 minutes and I start to feel discomfort on the stock seat. The Corbin seat, while taking a while to break in and being stiffer, is much more comfortable for longer rides in my opinion.
Everyone's behind is different and while I'm sure there's probably a few people on here that love the stock seat, I just couldn't get into it.
Hope this helps.
PS: Buy the bike. You'll love it. I put over 4,000 miles on mine since mid July and it just keeps getting better.
