all work together to nestle the
rider and passenger in comfort.
I'll let our pillion, Brittany
Dowdle, who's been the pillion
on countless motos because
of my line of work, share her
perspective:
"Over the last 20-plus years,
I've ridden pillion on a wide
variety of motorcycles from dif
-
ferent brands: from sportbikes
and cruisers to ADV bikes and
sport-touring models. I have the
most seat time with ADV bikes,
particularly the BMW R 1250 GS,
which, to me, is the perfect
blend of capability and comfort.
Or so I thought. That was until
Keith brought home the new
BMW R 1300 RT.
"This motorcycle has set a
new bar for me. In the past, the
'luxury' sport-touring bikes we've
ridden have had plenty of power
and a smooth ride, but the pillion
experience has fallen short of
what I'm looking for. Person
-
ally, I want to sit upright, to feel
engaged and part of the riding
experience. I don't want to feel
like Keith is riding a motorcycle
and I'm being towed behind in a
cushy recliner. I want it to matter
whether I look through the turns,
contributing to the rider input as
we sweep through tight turns
