Vohj - never would have guessed that.

As you say Him performance is what it is, mine is fine bimbling arouind local A / B roads and back lanes and even the odd longer run.

Seat height on the Him is a bit on the high side, although you can get lowering kits.

Interesting what you say about the Him seat, mine has the OE one on it, and over time it seems to have improved.

For my regular local bimbles of 40 miles or so it is fine, on longer runs I take a break after around 40 / 50 miles, but I find it quite acceptable.
