The seat is a dirt bike, seat. It won't be comfortable beyond short hops. The weight is way too heavy for it's class, it's not a motard, it's a naked sportbike that pretends to be a motard.

For you it wouldn't be bad, but the gas issue would kill me, 100 mile range would seriously limit my riding area. And hyper riders consider that a stretch. 80 is more of a realistic number here based on the info I have seen on it.

It's a fun bike, but it has a lot of negatives that limit riding time. It would have to be a trailer to where you want to ride bike for me, that's for sure.

Growing up on dirtbikes and spending the majority of my adult life on a dirtbike, the seat never bothered me. I don't ever plan on doing an touring so that isnt a problem. The 2-3 hour group ride or quick commuting would be 95% of it's use. I agree it's a motard wannabe and is really just a naked bike, but you know I rode that naked Kawi and the weight never bothered me.
