It is comfortable once you get rid of the stock seat, it is a brick, . handling is excellent, suspension is adjustable front and back. The bike is a rocket, I am 18 stone and even with me on it I had up to 157 mph on the gps.
Very slightly off topic, but the Z1000sx is about the only bike that tempts me right now from my gen 1 1000
how was it to live with and dose it handle ok? not as quick to steer as the 6 i bet but the short test ride i had it seemed ok but hard to tell what its like long term.
Checkout the forum www.z1000sx.co.uk tons of info on there and they are a friendly lot.
It is an excellent bike but for me sadly it had to go it was just to heavy for me, I am 64 and the old knees are gone. If you decide to get one you will not regret it. From a touring point of view in the 2 odd years I had it I put 16,000 miles on it, 3 times down and back to the SW of France and in April I rode down to the Costa Blanca were I live. Bike never let me down and apart from servicing it was never back at the dealers for anything.

hi Lew.
might just be me, but does that sound like an invite to all the forum members to head down to your place in the costa blanca to try out the SX ?
