I left the UK two-up on a 2004 F650GS in July and have had no problems so far.But the combined weight of us and baggage exceeds the recommended 380kg and you feel it on anything except good tar roads. The bike copes OK but it often feels like it's at it's limit. I had an 8 week stretch while my woman went home and the difference was amazing. One up with luggage is no problem even on the worst roads,including dirt tracks. I'm still on the road but if I was starting out two-up again I'd choose a bigger bike,it's just easier. Whatever, enjoy it. Nick.
