CB750 Hondas carried many couples back in the 70’s and 80’s. But today the 750s and 850s seem small in comparison to the CB.

Hmmm.....so I looked up average body weight and BMI and suchlike in 1970 and today.

Men in 1970:         Average weight 173 lbs.
Women in 1970:    Average weight 144 lbs.

Men today:            Average weight 200 lbs.
Women today:       Average weight 171 lbs.

Average height has increased maybe an inch during that time.

Long story short:  We are now a nation of fatties.
'Tis no wonder bikes feel cramped!

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.
yrunvs, what size sit n fly cover fits your V85TT? I have a 2025 V85TT and would like to try one. Do you have any pics of the sit n fly cover fitted on your V85TT?

It's already been mentioned several times but a 1400 Cali Tour is the way to go.  I have the smaller top box w/ passenger back rest and a Corbin seat on mine, very comfortable.  It's the only bike I've owned in many years where my wife will ask me if I want to go for a ride, it's definitely her all time favorite.
