It's not too bad. You gotta watch the dips at 80 tho, Ive been popped a a good foot plus outta the seat and off the pegs. That said, I ride this bike pretty much everyday. Its been on struts for two years now and I haven't had a date with the chiropractor yet. I ride with my girl on the back pretty often too, she doesn't complain too much, even when sometimes she only has a folded t-shirt to ride on.
