So SWAMBO eventually had a break in her studies and we were able break away to Franschhoek for a day.
And right there the trouble starts.
The KLE500 is not very comfortable for the rider, but according to SWAMBO, it should never have been licensed to carry two people!
Although it has enough power to reach 140 - 150 km/h two up (with patience), the seat really is not comfortable.
So now the question:
Since I do about 1% gravel and 99% tar, should I stick to a DS bike, or should I rather look at a bike that will better for two up?
Or
Alternative: Will Airhawk seat make a difference?
What are the pillions' experience?
Which bikes do pillions find "comfortable" for 100 - 300 km at a time?
