It looks to me as though the guy looked through the reflector archives, picked out every 
complaint that had ever been made about the K3 and stitched up this 'review'. Some of them 
are out of date, having been fixed in firmware or have hardware mods available.

Having said that, the K3 is a sports car and not a family sedan. Or, probably closer to 
what the designer had in mind, a racing bicycle and not a 'cruiser bike'.

Which doesn't mean that it's 'uncomfortable'. Try riding 100 miles against the wind in 
hilly terrain on a cruiser bike.

So either you like it for what it is or you don't.
