Disadvantages:
1. Suspension is not as good as a Touring bike
2. Saddlebags do not hold as much
3. Does not corner as well as a Touring bike
That said, I toured 2 up on mine for 8 years before I got a EG.
Advantages,
1. Looks cool
2. Sits lower, great for short people like me.
3. A little lighter, easier to pick up if you drop it.
And it looks cool
If your main purpose is to have a bike for two up touring, get the touring platform, RK, or EG. Much better at it and more confortable.
