Yamaha xtz Tenere 660 passenger?
Hi, I might buy Yamaha xtz Tenere 660 with ABS which I like very much. I'll be using it for solo rides but also with my girlfriend as a pillion. Once per year we might go for longer touring for a month around Europe. I would ride it mostly on a roads but I'd also go off tarmac from time to time. My concerne is how comfortable is xtz Tenere 660 for a pillion? Comapring with a seat of Suzuki V-strom 650, Tenere has a smaller and narrower seat. So how is for a pillion comfort on xtz Tenere 660? Is there enough space for both? Do you have any experiences on that? How is riding comfort for a pillion in general?
Also how does xtz Tenere 660 ride as fully loaded with luggage and a passenger? Is suspension ok? How is it on a highways, uphills?
I'm deciding between V-strom and Tenere. As I'll be a lot on tarmac V-strom might be more logical option but I like Tenere soooo much... and on other side I've heard about v-stroms problems with frame cracking under big loads...
thanks
