I have had and still have almost every type of bike. You are looking at the worst two bike typesfor two up riding. If you are dead set on a sport bike then look at an older ninja 500 or even the new 250. ASuzukiGS 550 is alright too.The seating position is much better. The best bikes for two up are sport tourers, adventure bikes and all the new naked bikes are not that bad either. The passenger is sitting up rather than leaning on you and your wrist.
The KLX is underpowered and too soft of a suspension for two up riding.

Like u said u still got a dirt bike which is good...so I'd opt for a decent street machine..here are a couple of Kawis both are 900 Vulcans, one is a custom the other a classic, subtle differences in the two..
The KLR would be a good choice too, if you plan on sticking to the pavement and dirt roads, but if you think you'd like to take a day long road trip, then I think the cruisers are a better choice.

OMG OMG OMG How long has that bike been out? Thanks for making me obsess about another bike. My wife is going to kill me, or you or both of us. Dang!!!!
