Coming from a Triumph tiger 660. That was the perfect bike for me, except I had a lot of wind noise (I'm very tall). Tried all, higher screen, short sport screen, even cut that down even more. Because of the fairing I still kept the excessive noise.
Anyway, sold the tiger. Looking for a replacement, and basically doubting between z900rs or an Africa twin. Already test rode the kawasaki, love how it rides and it looks, but I have some questions.
I'm pretty much always riding with my (tiny) gf as pillion. I wanna do some nice day trips, and few times a year some proper 1000km+ trips. I'm looking for something that's fun to drive, and comfortable on longer stretches. With the naked, I know highway speeds get tiring, but the noise will be alright because of the clean airflow. I know luggage is limited, I was eyeing the SW legend bags and pack very Spartan.
My other option would be the Africa twin. I know for touring it's the way better option, better luggage, pillion comfort etc. But it's also a huge bike, more expensive. I think the kawasaki is probably a more thrilling drive, and I prefer the looks (although I love the AT too).
Help me decide! Does it tour well with 2, or am I trying to stretch it too much?
