Not so much Marty Feldman as Father Jack Hackett.

It has a been a while since I have had panniers on a bike. I had them on my old R1150R, but I took them off because the bike rode a lot better without them. I don't know why... weight?... aerodynamics?... psychology? Since then I have much preferred pannier-less bikes, and I had the rear footpegs removed from both my R110S and my R1200S...
... But this is about sports-tourers... OK I don't do much touring, and when I have had to make weekend trips, that has meant the bear minimum stuff crammed into a rucksack. Not an ideal option. But that has convinced me of one thing - if one is aiming to go two-up and to do a lot of touring, then buy a touring-oriented bike, not a sports bike.
Or you could buy your other half a van, and transport all the extra stuff in that
M-o-M
