I wouldn't be too concerned about touring two up. I mean, even though I'm a svelte 215-220lbs, I didn't feel any problems with it on a ride to Missouri and back (with full saddlebags, a full tankbag and 104 degree nonstop heat to boot. Granted, I didn't climb up to 10,000, but even through the smaller mountains of NC/GA, never had a problem. Just my 2 cents...
