If you're used to the 999 tho' you shouldnt have any problems with the R.

What were you doing sitting at the front of the seat?The best place to park your bum is at the rear of the seat where its wider.(Twice as wide as a 996!)
I did nearly 300 miles up to Yorkshire this weekend and the only aches I had was through the footrests.Nowt to do with the bike,just my worn out Sidi's.Compare that to Jools report of the same rideout,and he was riding a sports tourer!
Perhaps I'm a funny shape!(Dont answer that!)
Iang,
Dont forget the seat/tank is also adjustable to bring you nearer the 'bars.Go for it.
