I found my '99 ST quite satisfactory going to Daytona and back last year, 
doing 500 mile days. with stock windshield, bars, and seat. Slight seat 
discomfort beging around 300 miles, easily relieved  by stopping for fuel, 
etc every 150 miles. As others have ponted out, the wind pressure at 65+ mph 
perfectly compensates for the forward lean, and takes the weight off the 
wrists. (I am 5'10")  My previous bike was a Trophy, and I much prefer the ST 
for its lighter weight, and better handling. Dave Collins, San Diego
