it depends mate I find different bikes hurt me in different places depending on the type of ride....

I must say although a very focus position the 04 ten I get the less pain

no wrist pain and now back pain...... I travel for 4 hours in the rain to liverpool to go to the Isle of Man and it was fine...

my advise would be sample all of the bikes mate......  and see if you can get long test rides

Easy to say....no dealer offers long test rides. im in a big dilema because dont want to get rid off mybeloved ten but this love hurts so badly.....

No pain no gain..... ride faster & you wont be on the bike as long

I can do trip to Cornwall on bike 321 miles and usually only stop at Bristol for fuel and find no problems except boredom on Motorway.................this is the only time I pray for traffic jam! so I can check women out and annoy car drivers

on what proof do you have this ..... there are some dealers willing to lend you a bike for half a day if you are nice enough to them.... have you actually asked... explained your situation

Tried but they say they have unregistered bikes, will call few whan get back from holidays. On he phone or face to face is different then via email.
cheers anyway

try and get to a big faceless dealer they normally have alot more bikes to let you take out........ say to them you have had an accident and are recovering and you need to know whether your body can handle the long rides ... they should let you take the bike for a bit longer.... and rather than thrashing the arse of the bike go and find some traffic to filter through .... this is normally this big factor for give wrist and back ache 

well it is for me anyway

Arek, get some adjustable rearsets they can make a big difference and a double bubble screen if you haven't already. Also check the position of your levers you can turn them down abit and just a little will make a difference to your wrist angle.
