Your butt and neck hurt: you're butt's gonna hurt, at first. (I hear all you guys snickering.) But you'll get used to it. (More snickers.) Or, get a different saddle. If your neck hurts, a taller stem for the handlebars can be fitted, too. You might not necessarily need a new bike, though wanting a new one is another matter.

Well, I'm in FL. so hills (other than over passes) aren't a problem. For your butt, a
Quality pair of shorts, good saddle & proper fit on the bike cures all of that. A buddy haS a high end MTB, but an extra set of wheels with slicks for the street, and raises his seat. Works well too.
