Guys thanks for the advice, only had it a month and to sell it for cash means i take a hit. I'll have a look around and see what I can get for it part-ex

Jesus Christ! I go away for a few days and my forum post has turned into some bin liner wearing fetish :-p
The PCX is the 2015 version so the seat is better than the previous one but I purchased it because of the amazing reviews!! which clearly didn't state back pain.
this is my first scooter, i've been riding for years from 125 to 800cc bikes, I loved my bikes for touring, riding to work and rides to the coast but I can't deny my mind has changed about city commuting, scooters all the way

General / Lower back pain

Probably not the best way to start off but i recently traded in my FZ8 for a new PCX 125, main reasons are financial and the fact I have a little on on the way! 
I've been riding for 2 weeks and my coccyx (tailbone) is tense and a bit sore. It's not sore to the point of excruciating pain but my 40 minute commute is enough for it to tighten up.
I'm trying different riding positions, padded cycling shorts etc... but none of it seems to work. I'm either thinking to keep at it and my back will adjust after 10yrs of riding 600cc motorcycles or
do i make the decision to send it back before I get too far down the line with chronic back pain.

Thanks, actually probably should have mentioned I'm on the 2010 model if that makes a difference

Anyone done any touring or long rides? I've done tours in the past on a Honda Hornet and Street Triple, both times didn't feel too bad after a long ride but I was younger back then :-p
Wondered whether comfort seats are worth it for myself and pillion or has anyone got any cheap methods to make the seat more comfortable for longer rides?
Also anyone got recommendations for cheapish luggage, currently I have sling over panniers which work fine but wondered about a topbox perhaps?
