just a quick observation: if extreme forward lean, race-track inspired bikes are real pain on the posture, why not get sportbikes with moderate upright position?

I thought sport tourers didn't sacrifice much power from their racing brethrens - sportbikes. some do carry inline 4-cyls. And a tad-bit upright and easy on the back muscles as I hear.

Anyway, I noticed the rear end of the frame and seat sections R-6 and R-1 tend to be 30-35 degree angle. R1 has it worst, though it looks damn sexy. Then of course there are people who mod it to increase the steep slope. Honda CBRs tend to be a little lenient about it, where the pilot seat emulates the level of the ground, the '04 F4i being most lenient to '04 600RR being most slanted. However, the CBR1000RR falls somewhere in between.

Suzukis are more or less same as Yamaha, with the exception of Hayabusa, it's impressively parallel to the ground compared to the rest. That's probably why it's considered Sporty Tourer, even with the power it has. Almost same comfort could be said for Kawasakis, particulary ZX-10 and ZX-12.

Well those are just the sportbikes, it gets comfier when you switch over to Sport tourers/Touring sports, thanks to plain variants.

Corbin seats or gel-type seats with bulky mass could be installed to enchance comfort and manipulate angles.
