749 R comfort?

Unfortunately I had to part with my 999S last year for various reasons and had no bike until 3 months ago when i bought a Honda CBR600RR as a stopgap until i could get back on a Ducati.

I have had numerous Ducatis in the past and i know that they are not exactly the last word in comfort but this Honda is way uncomfortable for me.

The seat is like a block of wood and my legs are really sore and aching after being on the bike as the pegs seem to be set really high although the bike itself is really nice to ride and handles brilliantly.

I have been looking at a 749R and was wondering what the comfort is like as with the tank being a lot taller is it a strain to reach the bars and if my memory recollects i think the pegs are a lot more adjustable for comfort.

Is everyone who has the 749R happy with it and has the clutch problems been sorted.
