I am seriously considering a Daytona600 for my next bike, my current being a 95 FZR600.

Trying to schedule a test ride has proved problematic, and even if I could I don't know if it would answer my question:

Is the Daytona600 comfortable enough for a 1 hour commute and an occasional weekend 4 hour ride?

I almost forgot, I am 5'9" and weight 61kg (135lbs).

Cheers,
Roy

I finally saw a real one in person, not just the mockup they had at the MC show last winter. Relative to the TT600, the pegs are fairly low and the seat is broad and flat. The only thing I could find about the ergos that might be a little off was the squared off edge of the seat. It felt great. Now I just need to finagle a ride on one somehow and see if it really is as good as the first impression.
