Definitely not. Maybe I'm just too boney.
(And don't go twisting that :D)
I got a king n queen, it's so different.
Thing is, if we were all the same what a boring place the world would be :)

1 minute 18 seconds into it and he had it wrong, I couldn't wait for the end so I could turn him off.

Just watched it, well I say watched, I got bored around 5 minutes in & didn't bother with the rest. I've tried watching some of his other content & had the same feeling of boredom so never watched all the way through. I get the impression he doesn't really know what he's talking about and is more about 'being nice' rather than an honest review.

He may have covered this, I don't know but after my 12 years of ownership, I found the standard seat uncomfortable, the stretch over the tank painful on the wrist after a couple of hours riding (I'm 5'10), the standard suspension needing work amongst other things and I'm pretty sure they came out in 1996, not 1997.
Mine was registered November 1996 so definitely did

Its really odd.. and I have mentioned it before
I always liked the standard seat, even after 8 or 10 hours of riding
Have you tried an aftermarket? ‘‘Twas only when I did that I realised how much 8morovementbwas availabke compared to OEM.

I have had just about every after market seat on various birds ( apart from Corbin )
For the most part there was nowt wrong with them but for me they just made it hard to move around and I ended up with a sweaty arse

The man is an idiot making far too much money from his channel. Check this video out and I rest my case.
