Two up on a Honda NX400?
ridetheworld,
I suggest that two up with light luggage could ride a Honda NX400 for expeditions with limited travel each day - although, I have encountered NX400s with two up and a lot of gear and they seemed to be doing just fine.
It is based on one's need for comfort and personal space and the weight capacity of the bike. Perhaps the happiest and most loving couple I have met were two young Argentines riding one NX400 loaded like a British would load one of those big BMW adventure bikes, all manners of racks, crash and bash plates, decals, flags, a multitude of lights and accessories and a lot of other stuff I have never seen before nor since.
So, it really comes down to personal taste, the relationship between the two riders and the physical capacity of the bike. I will say one up, the seat is comfortable, better than the Tornado for long trips.
Max power the engine: 31.00 HP / 6700 rpm.
Max power to the wheel: 23.18 HP / rpm a very powerful engine for its displacement and responds very well.
I can cruise between 100K and 120 K with luggage, most comfortable is around 110K and without head wind, 140k is possible I really don't care to go anywhere fast.
