I'm 6'2" and 235 probably 245 or more with all my gear and I have the base with ABS. I would say it is a great ride even though some of the "bumps" encountered on the street can be felt a little more than other bikes but I changed out the stock seat to the comfort seat which helped tremendously. Even with people our size, the bike rides great and is fun. Believe me, the Panigale has enough power that it can't tell how much you weigh.:D
 
What is better comfort seat or race seat? I have heard that the S suspension is stiffer than the base. Would stiffer be better for my mass? Hee. Hee hee...
 
Both have their merits but I prefer the comfort seat. The only complaint I have ever heard of the comfort seat is that it added a little less than half an inch to the height of the bike. Obviously that is of no concern for us who are 6'2":D
 
I went with race. Both have very similar addition of padding, I think the names "race" and "comfort" are misleading as they are both very comfortable. Had them next to eachother and not much difference. My race is very comfortable, and also adds about 1/2 inch. Also helps with the heat. Consider buying one of them a must at purchase time. And at 250, you may really appreciate the fantastic ajustability of the electronic shocks. Either way, hard to go wrong.
