This is a bit subjective, since everyBODY is different.

The ride position triangle is comfortable. You can tuck down on tank, lean forward slightly, or sit straight up. The clip-on bars are not as low as they look, nearly as high as standard handlebars on other naked bikes. Hands on the grips feel like they are kind of floating there, hardly any weight down on them. I don't feel folded up on this bike at all. For reference, I am 6 foot tall with a 30” inseam.

Side panels below fuel tank are placed properly and thighs/knees are in the right place for additional control.

The unusually wide foot pegs do not get in the way when putting feet on the ground, and no vibrations when on the move (depending on the type of boot or shoe). Plenty of heel room, as the exhaust and shield is low and out of the way. I have good space between foot peg and shifter when wearing Daytona boots. I think the pegs are a little bit more forward and a bit lower than other bikes like the Z650, MT-07, and GSX-S750. It's difficult to compare unless you measure all of them... just saying.

Seat is excellent, padding is firm and comfortable. No hot spots on tail bone or buttocks. No crotch pushing forward into tank. Plenty of room between tank and rear cowl. Corbin seats were good, and I believe this one is better. As a reference, the Z900 seat was like sitting on a 2x4 compared to a Corbin or this CLX seat.
