I find recumbents are really the most comfortable when you're very laid back. The problem with this position is that it's not conducive to a fairing: in order to ride, you'll be looking through the fairing which can distort your vision. Plus, they're unwieldy if you ever have to carry your bike around and can scratch easily.

The VK2 doesn't come with a fairing, I'm sure, but more importantly, there's a thread on 'BROL about a guy whose fork catastrophically failed.

One of the most comfortable looking 'bents I've seen around is the Street Machine (you can also attach a fairing), but it is heavier than you want.
