I'm thinking of making a purchase, and I know there are a lot of people out there who know a heck of a lot more than I do, so hoping some of that wisdom could help me from doing something dumb, if I were getting ready to. :o

I'm thinking I'm ready to start looking for a 1500.  I love my 800, but I think I think the 1500 will be better for the following reasons:  1) riding 2-up with the Missus, (approx 350lb combined weight)  2) longer distance rides - I would like to do more long distance.  The 800 is great, and I know there are things I could do to make it better, like adding lowers,  but it seems to me the bigger bike would inherently perform better on longer trips.

Am I wrong on any of these assumptions?  I don't want to be disappointed...

I know there's things I like about my 800 - Ideally I'd like to have one of each....
