Seat if fixable. Since the Vegas is 'almost' a Kingpin.. get a better seat, put some roll bars on it, floorboards and highway pegs and a backrest..and you'll run out of road before you run out of ride.

I know this because my wife has an 08 Vegas and she never complained about puttin down a 500 mile day.. stopping to set up camp and THEN go for a ride for fun.

I guess it's all up to the ass in the saddle. I watched a guy roll in from a 300+ mile trip on a newly built shovel that he literally took a metal tractor seat and welded it to fit on the bike.. no padding at all, unpolished bare metal. Personally I think I'd need traction after that but he hopped right back on and went for a bar hop w/in 30 min of getting off it. I know when I was younger I did several 1000 mile rides iron butt style on bikes that had a flat seat and prob about 1" of foam in 'em. Comfort is relative.
