Thrashing thru the wilderness you're on your feet on the pegs a lot, with your own gear, not suited for pillion. Pillion on an ADV is for Sunday morning/afternoon. I'd think the manual windscreen is a mistake. I had a Yami FJR and a BMW, and they both had electric windshield that were adjustable on the fly.
I know plenty (maybe even the majority?) of BMW GS riders who regularly ride two-up. Not while "adventuring", but most who have these bikes use them off-road occasionally, and for touring or local hops and what-not most of the time. I'd think that for the HD to be successful, it'd need to satisfy road use, including two-up touring as well as the competition.
