You'll know if you have the right posture when your legs, lower back and thighs start to hurt after a long ride instead of your wrists. Your using poor posture and probably pusing too much on the clip-ons then you are using your body, especially the stronger larger parts from the torso down.....you'll get it......don't stress.

Man, my '05 Gsxr 600 was THE most comfy supersport bike I have ever sat on. I mean that thing fit me like a glove and the seat had SO much cushion on it. I could ride it for 8 hrs before I start feeling anything.

F4i have insane amounts of cushion, come on, you can't beat a banana seat in comfort, but you can't beat an RR or GSX-R on performance from an F4i, its all a give and take. ; )

I started useing more of my legs and torso and that takes a lot of weight off my wrists. I used to ride a Honda Magna so im still learing how to ride a sport bike but I dont think I could ever go back to a cruiser after owning the GSXR!

no no, the '01 style f4i seats SUCK BALLS! Damn piece of plywood. And as far as performance in the 00-03 f4i's they were right on par with the gixxers and r6's. I was just saying the riding position on the gixxer definately has you hunched over more and placing more wieght on your upper body compared to that of f4i.
