As Megadan said the difference is negligible at most, and the uncomfortable seat will probably affect you more than the vibration on a long haul. If you wanna know what actual vibration feels like ride an old school Harley or a big bore 2 stroke.
No worries, I had a CSC TT250, regeared. Good for short trips on an interstate if you were only going a short exit or two. After years of riding mopeds and scooters, I know how to survive on an underpowered bike. And oh yes, I have had my share of big Harleys, Road Stars, Guzzis, etc so I know vibration. As I get older, my joints tolerate it less. Really looking for an urban assault vehicle that can also do graded dirt roads. I'll probably go for a Brozz, new it ends up about $500 cheaper than a TT250.
