How is this bike for long rides?

The Svartpilen 250 has an upright, almost supermoto-like riding position. You are perched on a narrow seat and have wide and braced handlebars mounted closer to the rider. Coupled with the low and slightly forward set footpegs compared to the Vitpilen 250, it is a comfortable riding stance. It will not tire you even after riding the motorcycle for a couple of hours. Despite being narrow, the seat is comfortable on long-distance stints thanks to a firmer foam padding. For some weird reason, the Svartpilen 250 gets a split seat unlike the Vitpilen’s single-piece unit. The compact seat has you sitting partially over the seat divide and you can feel the pillion seat edge digging in. It isn't that uncomfortable to be a deal-breaker but is definitely an odd sensation. The pillion seat, despite being well padded, is tiny. So tiny that the pillion will be thankful for the ugly looking grab rail that not only gives him/her something to hold on to but also prevents them from slipping off. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
