Options two up!
My wife and I rode two up and camped all the way across the USA last year on the GSA1200 with room, but this GSA seems to pack it better than a RT. Our previous KLT1200 would NOT do it, so we towed a trailer and many RT owners take this option for 2 up camping. The GSA does it quite well, without towing. WE were heavy though and this new tent would TAX the issue moreso. Its a 14lb tent. My wife rides her own bike most of the times out and about. This one trip we had to go 2up. Tne GSA weighed in at 1200lbs loaded, both of us on it and all gear for camping. This IS about 150lbs overloaded by BMW specs. WE took the risk and it worked well, no issues. Only you can make this choice, riding heavy. Its not always a good thing. The trailer option works extremely well for most and the RT does it well. Randy
