Hi All! A good friend of mine has found a great deal on a Tiger 800 XC in my home town and wants to fly me there to pick it up and drive it home. It is about a 1200 mile drive and I wonder if anyone has any long haul experiance on one of these. I was fine on my NT with stock seat for this ride in both directions a few years ago so I do not require plush seat upgrades and alike. How bad would it be for a small passenger? 5 feet tall 115 pounds? This would be a great oportunity for my wife and I to visit family and spend some time at "home", and have a little adventure ride home, but if this bike would be really uncomfortable I may not be up for it. The back seat looks a little small and the owner says he is going ot get a gell seat pad for it, but is that enough?
Thanks for any input!
