Riding two-up is better. But you still need the right motorcycle. A romantic weekend in the Vercors, a ride for two along the Atlantic coast or a few outings around your city: the motorcycle matters. At Good Motors, we offer a varied selection of models perfectly suited to riding two-up, for A2 licenses as well as A licenses. Here is our guide to choosing the ideal motorcycle.
The best A2 motorcycles for riding two-up
Good Motors selects comfortable and versatile models, all compatible with the A2 license. Here are the motorcycles available to rent in our A2 catalog, tested and approved so you can start out or progress with peace of mind.
Honda NX 500
Versatile, comfortable, stable… The Honda NX500 is the long-distance champion for riders who have just passed their test. Its tall seating position gives an excellent view of the road, and its comfort two-up is remarkable. The seat is wide, the suspension absorbs road imperfections well, and there is enough power to cruise without stress, even fully loaded.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650
With its retro styling and its smooth handling, the Interceptor is perfect for getting around the city and along back roads. Its comfortable seat and its natural riding position make it a very good companion for rides for two.
Royal Enfield Bear 650
Less comfortable than the Interceptor but tougher, the Bear 650 is a good choice for adventurous pairs. It goes everywhere and stays manageable for smaller riders.
The best A license motorcycles for riding two-up
If you hold the A license, you have access to a wider range of models. Here are our favorites for setting off two-up with style and comfort.
Moto Guzzi V85 & V85 Travel
The standard V85 already offers an excellent balance of comfort, a reasonable seat height and riding pleasure. The Travel version adds practical side cases for long trips and a protective screen, ideal for the highway. Details for the V85 Travel.
Honda Transalp
A newcomer to the adventure bike segment, the Transalp combines agility and comfort. It takes well to winding roads, even two-up, thanks to its flexible engine and its sound dynamic behavior.
Honda Africa Twin
A benchmark for long adventures for two. It eats up the kilometers without flagging and offers top-end comfort for the rider and the passenger alike.
Suzuki D.E 800
A road-going adventure bike through and through, the D.E 800 is an easy, reassuring, comfortable motorcycle. It is just as at home in the city as it is over long distances.
Moto Guzzi V7
Lower than the V85, the V7 offers a plush seat and timeless charm. Ideal for ambling along for two on small country roads or by the coast. Expressways, on the other hand, are best forgotten!
