This will vary in accordance to many factors including seat type, age, weight and road conditions. For me, at about 40 miles I need to get off the beast! R

20 sounds about right for me, but that could be because I have some back issues. The airhawk seat cover extends that range to about 300 including minimal stops.

My butt never gets sore, even after a full day in the saddle. But I'll feel tired the next day in my core and shoulders after rides of about 100+ miles. (Unless of course I've been working out regularly... which happens pretty much never.)

Neck and shoulders is what I have to watch out for. It is not so much distance as tension. I have same poblem at work, not just riding. I learned to pay attention to signs of tension, before stuff like migraine starts.
The butt is " naturally generously padded " so that is rarely an issue

My threshold has changed over the years.
I've had the stock seat, went to the BJ seat, and back to stock.
My issue has always been my lower back rather than my butt.
But, it takes a while before my bum starts to get tired.
Breaks during longer rides help, but ifind more frequent breaks, the longer the trip.
But as with anything, it is going to be on a case by case basis.

on a regular basis: 40 miles. after that I'm spent.

infrequent trips of a few hundred miles are not uncommon.

No problem with derriere fatigue. My problem is up by the shoulder blades and in the upper back. That's why I rarely wear a backpack when I ride.

Not sure on mileage, but I've ridden up to an hour so far with no butt issues. Can feel the hump under the seat in the blur sometimes, but my I shift my seating position a bit from time to time while riding so it's a non-issue (further back at long straightaways, scootch forward a bit through town and twisties).

The only problem I run into is my wrists can get a little sore after that long. I have weak wrists from the kind of work I do and if I don't take a break after 30-45 minutes, I can feel it.

+1 for the airhawk. A kind cannonballer let me borrow it for my trip to Amerivespa. 450 miles a day and my butt never really hurt.

I had an air hawk long, I wonder what ever became of it? R

I have a stock seat and I have ridden for hours and never suffered from tired butt syndrome. My knees aren't the best so I tend to like to stop every hour and a half or so.

With close to 70,000 miles on your scoots in the last few years I have only one question: When do you sleep?

My butt doesn't get sore, but after about 150 miles (with several breaks for gas & food), in between my shoulder blades does.

My lower back starts to feel it at around 75 miles.

But, it also depends on what kind of riding I'm doing. Fairly straight cruising, I'm good all day. Lots of technical riding, I can do about 80 miles straight shot before I need to stretch out.

On the Stella, my butt gets a little more sore than on my LX, but I don't notice it until after the ride.
