Have been pillion on a mate's Norton MANY years ago (in my youth), doing 100mph down the highway. Must admit that the Suzi is MUCH more comfortable.

Glad you went with the larger bike. Unless you are both on the smallish side I think two people touring with luggage would tax the 650 a bit.

If you get to the capital of Australia, which is not Sydney by the way, feel free to drop me a line if you would like to catch up for a coffee. I'm originally from California but have lived here for about 22 years or so.

You can see a few of my GSX650F adventures at http://dazza.id.au if interested.

Have a great time.
