The AT is a great bike, I've done about 3000 miles on it and it's a lovely bike to ride. If you want two up I'd look elsewhere. My girlfriend said it was uncomfortable and didn't get along with it. I've seen a few reviews that said the same. Also, it's not as powerful as it may seem on paper. Fine for solo uses but two up with luggage it can be a bit of a slog. Also, if you like a bit of power and speed then it can feel a bit flat. You soon find the limits of the power. On small country lanes tho. its great.
This is all on the road tho. I bought it with the intention of taking it off-road and doing a bit of green laneing.
Two weeks after owning it I pulled into a service station, off the motorway. It had been raining heavily the night before and there was a large puddle across the car park. It was 5 am and no-one was around. I thought about blasting thru it on my lofty all terrain bike, but bottled it and road carefully around it. I realised then that I had clearly bought the wrong bike and it would never leave the tarmac! :-))) I did feel a little bit foolish!
The AT is a great handling, fun road bike but if you want comfort and a big powerful engine, there are better choices.
I test road a VFR1200X - very fast, great road bike. Bit heavy but super engine.
