I'm about the same size as you and have no problems or complaints. Seat does feel a little hard on long runs 'though.
Now, since we have the attention of the larger portion of this community here's a poser which would suit a physicist motorcyclist who either started riding when skinny and padded out in later life, or vice versa.
The bike's got loads of torques and when I crank the throttle open I feel as if it's trying to slide me off the back of the seat, and I end up hanging onto the bars for dear life.
I never used to get this feeling when I was younger and lighter.
do heavier riders get subjected to more of the effect of inertia on an accelerating bike?
An analogy might be accelerating hard with a pillion rider holding on to you?
