Buy himself a Tuono. Problem solved.

Comfortable ergos, and it'll rip your arms off.

Ergos are still fairly aggressive for a standard. But they are fun!

Probably real close to your fz09. That was my other option. By the time I would have upgraded the suspension, quick shifter, steering damper; ahhh, forget it... buy a Tuono.

I hear you.

It's really the foot pegs, way higher and way more back.

A little. Its not as bad as you think.
OPs back is messed. His legs and knees should be fine.

Rode my buddies 2017 rsv4rf. I wanted to get off it after 10 minutes. Wrist killer... it was mint, but the Tuono is such a better street bike.

Dont think I can manage a street SS anymore. Body cant take the abuse on my back plus the wife rides a cruiser so we cant really ride for fun together. I want to take longer trips with her more then I want to rip ramps with the guys around town...

I hate to say it but I'm getting older and need a crui....a naked standard touring bike thing lol...

Maybe I just get more into track days and a dedicated track bike...

That's a Bummer man, I am pushing 50 and still enjoy riding my 929rr, plan for 1 more SS before I go standard. But as long as your on 2 wheels its all good!

Hope so! May need a new ride soon as a left turner just took mine out today on the way home.

Take care of yourself.
Get checked out by a doctor.
You want any injuries documented.
Get well soon.

The only thing the Tuono lacks for distance travel is wind protection. Long distances on the highway can become fatiguing after a while.

Fun, but fatiguing. Probably a good thing it gets crappy fuel mileage; gives you a chance to rest up a bit every ~220kms or so. :)
