I'm 6 feet tall, and have taken the bike out twice for trips in excess of an hour. As soon as the bike hits 60mph I become a drag-chute, a lot of pressure on the chest. It's nothing like my old Vstrom which would buffet me like crazy, but it is tiring. My low back also gets sore after an hour on the stock seat. Fly-screen is on order and I'm trying to decide on a new seat. I, too, find myself sliding forward into the tank. The solution is to travel at 60+mph so the wind can push me back into the seat
