Everyone is different. Just like hiking many miles in the mountains, you will be sore until you get used to it. Eventually you can go longer before getting sore.
Before I could afford a motorcycle I rode long distance bicycles. Some saddles are more comfortable than others if you have money. I didn't have much money. After a few thousand miles I got used to what I had. Doing nothing was the cheapest solution. When I got sore, I stopped and took a break.
I cut a sheepskin to fit the size of my current motorcycle seat and attached it to the sides with zip ties. I like it. It makes a slight improvement. I still have to stand on the pegs and shake out my legs from time to time and get sore after a few hundred miles.
People spend a lot of money trying custom seats, gel pads, padded bicycle shorts, wooden roller balls. Maybe they help, I don't know. I'm not willing to spend the money to find out.
Cheers,
John Downs
