Passenger accomidations on the 10?
Ok,
Here is one angle I haven't heard alot about yet - how are the passenger accomidations on the '10? I am 6'2" 195 (in the summer when I'm cutting) to 230 (in the winter when I'm bulking) and my GF is 6'3" 125 lbs. We fit well on the '12 and have taken lots of 2+ hour trips on her - trick is to get a nice "Buddy Belt" and not drive too fast with her on the rear. How is everyone faring with a passenger on the '10? I keep telling myself NOT to look at the 10 too hard - I LOVE my '12... but the 10 is SO sexy....

She prolly won't enjoy the back very much - real tight on leg room and the seat kinda slopes forward too.
My chick was OK for about an hour at a time and she's a leggy 5'10".
As a sidenote - she loved the bike in the twisties, sumthin about smoot and faster than I went on the 12 (according to her).

Pretty uncomfortable for the rider unless the passenger uses their hands against the gas tank and legs against you to keep them from crushing you...

My girlfriend and I are fat full time. Was going to buy a bike that would accomodate us more comfortably. However, I came to the realization that she doesn't ride with me that often and I get more enjoyment flying solo. Conclusion; Buy her her own bike. Otherwise buy the bike that most excites you and get her a vacuum or something. Being truly happy will make you a better husband/boyfriend.

she HAS been bugging me that she wants a bike... maybe a good present for her  . DAMNIT and I was GOING to get a Fatboy for my next ride (and keep the '12 of course). GGGGRRRR. Kawi isn't making this decision easy.
