I did a 2.5k mile trip on the Fz1 with my wife as passenger, we are both tall but slim. We had gear for 10 days and I guess overloaded the bike a bit. However no problem at all the bike rode still fine and we even passed a lot of other riders on the more twisty roads . That said we made lots and lots of stops because the passenger seat is very bad and my wife 5'11. So calculate for the extra breaks.
I have a FJR1300 which a friend bought for our spring tour (3k miles). It is a very nice bike but has not enough ground clearance for me. I scrapped the pegs in every curve when loaded with a passenger and even the center stand scraped very fast. Hanging off is not really an option with the seating position and a passenger.
It is much more comfortable to ride but not a sport tourer, just a tourer.
If you want an FJR drop me a PM I am selling this one (blue, 28k miles, 2005 and has ABS).
