You would need a size 8 bimbo girlfriend to to take touring with you...that doesn't sound much of a hardship though.

As far as tourers / GT bikes go yeah it does look good but as Duke points out the pillion seat is a little lacking.

No I said the pillion seat is fine if your girlfriend is a size 8 fittie.
