How about getting two reasonably priced bikes.

1. 696 for you
2. Something comfortable for your wife.

I ride two up with my wife all the time, but without an intercom, conversations are impossible: all the talking happens when we stop for food/coffee. And passenger comfort is of secondary importance to a lot of road bike manufacturers, so if you aren't interested in a Sports Tourer package, then finding a comfortable bike for 2up riding might be difficult.

Good luck! [thumbsup]

after reading the original post about the wreck and wife seeing it and not liking it, will she let you get another one?
my wife tried to stop me, but i still limped into the dealership after she gave me a ride and bought the next one.
Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

yeah was at the dealer yesterday and tried to get her opinion on the GT1000 Black with white stripe... she said don't ask her...
may be a hard sale, but it's in my DNA so somehow i gotta have a bike.

good call on checking out the GT. still a ducati, still naked, and more comfortable for your wife. Hope you go with it.
07.695 (sold)
07. sport 1000 biposto

And a used ST4s is not up for discussion ?
Sporty, great for too, good luggage options, and a thrill to ride

+1 to this idea!  I have been eyeing every ST (don't care if it's a 2, 3 or 4) that I see go up for sale.  I would really like to have one of these...

well the idea of a used bike replacement came up just tonight in fact. so yes an ST is a viable option.

I will start searching the classified section online tonight.
Definitely will be a Ducati.
So options are...
ST
MTS
SS
SBK
M
SC
not in that order of course
any i missed?
how about this?
