Subject: Buying an AT


Help!!!
We (my girlfriend and I) are about to buy a Africa Twin, but before we make up our minds we would like to know your opinion about the following:

 Is it possible to use the XRV as a touring bike on a holiday for two persons with tent, sleepingbags , clothes ….(you know girls…)

We have read in a swedish paper that the vibrations on the XRV are severe, is it true?

 The same paper wrote that the motor was to weak to carry ”a fulloaded ” bike in highway speed, true or false? 

Is the original seat comfortable for two persons? (what about my girlfriends butt…)

 What is the worst/best things about the XRV?


Please answer as soon as possible because I am trying to convince my girlfriend that the Twin is a far better motorbike than the Triumph Tiger.

I ´m looking forward to your answers,
