I did experience some vibration through the bars that after a couple of hours made my hands tingly and numb for hours afterwards. Hadn't experienced anything like it on the five other bikes I've owned. I replaced the grips with some inexpensive Pro Grips (#699) and yesterday gave them a true test - 5.5 hours on the bike and ... drum roll, please ... my hands were fine! Problem solved. So, only an issue with the stock grips for me at 2+ hours and then completely gone after an easy fix. I certainly wouldn't let that concern turn you away from this bike which truly is amazing. Good luck to you.
