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! waytogo

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!!

good call on checking out the GT. still a ducati, still naked, and more comfortable for your wife. Hope you go with it.

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?
