My wife and I want to be able to both ride on a bike and be some what comfortable. Im gonna need something with a back rest. Only bikes Iv ever seen that look like they would be comfortable for 2 people on a long trip are Gold Wings. Any suggestions?

A nice used BMW 1200lt. 40k miles is nothing on this bike. Goldwings ride great as well. Yamaha Royal Star. (they upped the horsepower a few years ago and they have more power now)

There are a ton of accessories for Goldwings. Go look at all of them. I would go for a 1200lt myself.

X2 on the StreetGlide.
I traded my GSX-R1000 for it. Both the wife and I can ride it comfortably. And they still look somewhat sporty.

Here's mine:

Good lookin bike bro. I'm hoping to have a super glide as my first bike by the end of the summer.

Any of the big metric twins can be made comfortable for two-up.
The big Kawasaki Nomads and Yamaha Stars come to mind.
With a nice saddle and backrest she'll be comfortable and you'll have
enuf power to handle both of you.

For pure luxury tho, it's hard to beat either the full-boat Honda Goldwings or BMW.
Their passenger accomodations are car-like.

Good luck.

Bike looks good. I rode to Vegas on mine last fall and the only problem i had was making sure i was putting a leg over the right bike. The street glide has to be one of Harleys most popular models.

I agree, If I bought a Harley(big if) I would own a street glide. The flat black one is awsome.

They are popular!!
That's why I ordered 21" wheels for mine. I'll post a pic next week. They should be here then.
