My DL1000 has just over 3k on it now. The seat which I admit was uncomfortable when new, has improved with mileage. The fuel consumption is good if you don't gun it everywhere. The traction control on 2, seems to make the bike use more fuel. The handling is the best attribute of the bike, whether high speed getting your knee down, or town work. I haven't try it 2 up yet, so couldn't comment.
The downsides are, the fuelling issues at slow speed, the lack of internal pannier space, and rack weight limit. If you breathe on the bike, it scratches. The brakes are good but lack feel, either on or off sometimes. As a tourer, its disappointing, the rack with topbox/panniers has a limit of 10kgs which is just over 20 pounds, not a lot. Unfortunately, its neither a practical tourer or a dedicated roadster, but a mismatch of the two.
