I have ridden motorcycles for most of my life, but last year I bought my first bike for 2-up riding. I have a 2006 K1200LT, which so far has been a very good bike. My biggest complaints are the cramped cockpit and the slow-speed maneuverability. I am 6'3" and feel like my legs are just too cramped while riding the bike, and the saddle causes a couple of pressure spots on my backside that I don't appreciate. This weekend, my wife and I rode the Beartooth Highway in MT (unfortunately in the rain), and at slow speeds on some of the really tight corners the big bike is a handful. My other bikes are lighter and more agile, but won't work for 2-up riding over long distances. My question for anyone that can help is: is there a bike out there that would give my wife and I good long-distance comfort, give me more leg room and have more "sporty" handling characteristics? A newer K bike, R1250 RT, or GSA? I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
