Best for 2 up

[Geezer1000]

Hoping to get a 1150GS pretty soon and I was wondering which is the best version for 2 up touring, the standard or the adventure?

Thanks

The standard 1150 has seperate seats for rider-passenger and I reckon more comfortable than the ADV single seat, which is a bit of a plank unfortunately

Would agree with Bryn.
Joanne insisted that the seat be sorted on our GSA before she would travel any distance on it.
I do believe you can purchase a pillion seat extension for the 1150gsa,not sure from where,or if indeed they are any improvement.

One other solution for either seat is an Airhawk or sheepskin

We did a few long (14 hour) days two up on an Adventure without issues, just would the preload up and went, a sheepskin does make a difference.

My wife tells me she prefers the back of the R1200R for comfort over the 1150 however we have not pushed it to any real distances yet.

the double seat

on either a gs, or gsa

you wont go wrong with either, just remember the gsa is a bit taller and heavier.

My missus much prefers the twin seat set up, even though I added on the TT seat extender to the adventurer seat. Better shape for the pillion IMO. Also as there's a bit more of a step with the twin seats, she found it harder to nick my bit of the seat.
