I certainly don't regret buying mine. I realy enjoy it, but the longest day I've ridden on it comfortably was about 120 miles and that was was with a 10-15 minute fuel stop halfway through. Longer than that and I need more breaks in there. The seat sits much lower and, in my opinion, improves the response of the bike in turns. You just feel more a part of the bike rather than sitting perched on top of it. I don't do alot of long rides. I mostly just commute to work (24 mile round trip)and cruise around on the weekends doing short runs through the country, so the seat works great for me.
