Hey man welcome to the forum!
The XTr/x is a fantastic all roun bike, I used mine everyday for everything! (in 13motnhs I have done 18k miles!) Riding by myself I've had no issues at all very comfortable and very reliable! Did a 3k plod around wales and back and could still ride again!
As for two up, I took a trip up to avimore in scotland with the missus on the back 500+ mile in one go! We were both very saddle sore after that distance!
I recovered fairly quickly being used to it, the missus said she could still feel it a week later! I think however this was due to the fact I only have soft luggage. This meant that the small(ish) seat had to be shared between me, the missus and the kit (tent, sleeping bags, clothes etc) I ended up virtually on the tank all the way. Under normal circumstances I.e if you had the hard cases fitted on racks you would be fine. We have done day trips since to skeggy and the south with no problems at all and she hasn't moaned once about a sore backside!
hope this helps! :P
PS.... Its too easy to wheelie!! Drop the clutch and boomph your up! thumbs up on this one! :P
