I've had three K1300Ss and three R3Ts. The R3T is the ONLY big bike that I've seen (and I've owned many many many large touring type heavyweights) that could satisfy my lust for torque, created in me by my first K1200Rsport.
FWIW, my wife likes her pillion perch on the R3T. Get the bike, add a Russell seat, the powerlet outlet, a set of heated grips, and the tall windshield, and unless you want cruise control, a fancy navigation system, a fancy audio system, an air bag, tachometer, tpm, etc., you should be pretty happy.
