Has anyone been touring with a pillion? Did the NC700X cope well with a pillion and luggage?

if you want to keep your wife a happy camper, put a Russell Day Long seat on you bike. Expensive, but she is worth it.
My point is you can do two up touring on just about anything. Some bikes are just more comfortable and better equipped than others.
I took the wife I that ride I mentioned. The NC did Ok. I rode through some pretty hilly country so there were times I had to shift down one gear but as long as I kept her above 3200rpms she seems to chug right along. Felt best at 3500rpms when pulling up hills. My wife did a good job of sitting still so I could barely tell she was back there. It handled the corners well but not the same as if I was by myself. If I were being honest I would say I like riding the bike much better alone although it did a fine job 2UP.
so far, I'f found THIS. If it works at all, it will be worth a try. Maybe I could pair it up with better headsets as I'm sure the sets it comes with won't be top notch.
While it is... indelicate... to say so... the budget for this is $100 or less.
I'm sure all the blue tooth Sena stuff is the best out there.

That was the only drawback to my ride withj the wife the other day. We could not talk.
Depending on how you look at it, this can be a plus. We can still talk at stop signs/intersections, and if I need to point something out I'll grab her left leg and motion which side with my head. 60% of the time it works every time.
