Does anyone do 2up on a current guzzi?

 I have had my CalVin now going on 5 years and primarily ride with my gf on back. It has done quite well 2 up touring. Seat can get a little tiring after awhile and I have looked at replacing it. I also have a v- strom 650 in a different city I use too, it gets a little cramped 2 up.
Before I consider my next ride I would like to hear if anyone has some experience in that regard on some of the newer guzzis. V85tt, v100 especially, v7 not so much.
Having been a Honda man for many years I am excited about the new CB1000 too. And ( gulp!) having never so much as thrown a leg up over a Harley or Indian considering them too.

I have had a pillion on my V7 850 quite a few times. Good for short rides, but it's exactly what you would expect in that it's a better passenger experience than riding on the back of a chopper but not as comfortable as on a Gold Wing.

That describes so many bikes.  :wink: :grin:

I've owned a few cycles and have been riding two up with my wife throughout and she says (and I agree) that the V85tt is by far the best. The seat is divided by a hump she has her space and I have mine the hump along with the top box secures her in place even if I brake hard or accelerate aggressively. She says she sits at just the right height protected from wind but able to see everything. The seat (for us) is comfortable especially with the sit n fly
seat cover that circulates air under our bums. She liked the Valkyrie but loves the V85tt.

This is exactly the type of information I am looking for. I am 5'11" and 220 my gf is 5'1" and 135 do you suppose this would match your ergonomics?
