Funny, I find my '93 900 SS to be quite comfortable for this particular "old guy". Even recovering from last summer's collision, I found it to be the first bike I could comfortably ride. Even missing two discs in my lower back, I find its riding position comfortable. This basic machine, the "carbie" Super Sport, was made from '91 through '98. Later Super Sports have a somewhat more cramped riding position.

These bikes are well known for their moderate, stretched out riding position as compared to the riding position on the various Ducati "superbikes" (in Ducati parlance, "superbikes" are their water-cooled, four valve, full-on sport bikes, starting with the 851), which are widely acknowledged to be some form of medieval Italian torture rack.

I find mine to be pretty much "all day" comfortable. I've logged many 400-500 mile days on it, although that is admittedly stretching it a bit. It really comes into its own as my "after work" bike for blasting up and down the Snoqualmie Valley, or up to Darrington or something. It's my perfect bike when I have a couple or three hours to kill.

Hell, if you are ever over here on the wet side and feel like a ride, let me know. I'd be happy to have you take her for for a spin and "try before you buy".
