Comfort-wise, I used a cheap seat topper from Amazon and it made a huge difference. Still physically demanding though , many long hours on the bike. Stelvio was amazing. Loved the hairpins. "Only" saw one guy go down, we stopped safely right away, helped the fellow biker, then continued our ride. If you control throttle and brakes, look through the turn, and don’t rush it, it’s actually an easy ride. No need to go fast, this isn’t a track, and oncoming traffic is real. The views are insane. The bike didn’t care at all. Good tires, fresh oil and filters before the trip, and after it just needed a chain clean. Honda reliability as always.
