HP2 Sport ergo opinion

It is kind of interesting thinking about the ergos on the HP2 Sport compared to other bikes. I own a HP2 Sport, Megamoto and also a R1200RT. All have totally different ergos and I can do about 250 miles on each before a different part of me starts getting sore. Sport, the outer parts of my hands , shoulders and quads, Megamoto, butt,arms and feet, RT, arms, elbows and butt. I just take it as the cost of having fun and each ride has its own investment. Or that I need to change my workout to accommodate my riding, but no, I would rather be riding.
I agree with Shred, I used to ride only mountain bikes an now almost exclusively road bikes with a 9cm saddle to bar drop and riding 200 miles weekly. This really helps me on the scoot.
Having a special relationship with my dealer (friend for over 25 years) I go there frequently on the weekend to see if they have any bikes that they need to get miles on so that they can be sold as demos. I think that it is 2500. In the last few weeks I have ridden a K1300S and a K1600GTL and a K1600GT, F800R all of which I rode for at least 250 miles. Same thing with these bikes Similar areas that get sore, though different on each of them and great insights to each bikes attributes and limitations. By the way, least impressive bike was the K1300S, most impressive was the K1600GT with superior ergos to the GTL. Suspension and handling on the S with ESA were awful out of the box. I might be finding a GT in the garage replacing the RT. It was that good.
