You’re right in that you’re pushing the upper ranges of its capabilities at that level, but I’ve ridden with passenger (I’m around 190, passenger 130) without a problem. In fact, it doesn’t seem notice much difference in power response. The big difference is handling, but when the weight isn’t in a passenger, it’s not as much an issue.
Honestly, ergonomics will likely be the main issue, so check into some of the 650 twins.
