Don't be put off by people telling you that you 'can't ride a DR650 2up around South America'
Yes a V Strom will be much more comfortable, but if you are both physically not too big then you can get away with a DR
We spent 5 months on the road and 22000 km 2up. We used a Corbin seat and Lisa had an Airhawk inflatable cushion strapped onto the back behind the seat which she found reasonably comfortable, lower the rear foot pegs, job done, the DR handles fine 2 up with luggage, using a 14 tooth front sprocket helps you not slip the clutch too much with the extra weight. Im 190lbs, 5'10", Lisa is 120lbs and 5'6"
