I'll second the above comments. You can ride anything but the pillion will suffer much earlier. My wife and I have used rental bikes on a few trips, and smaller ( 125cc ) bikes don't have many comforts settings! It is possible to travel great distances but you must stop more regularly and after very short periods. On our Vstrom many hours or 300 miles is not an issue for either of us. On a YBR125 stops every 1hr reduced to 45mins then 30 mins, which is ok if you don't have to be anywhere at any given time. Some of the scooters have been quite comfy so they may be worth considering too. But if you can find a Vstrom 650 / 1000 for your budget that will serve you well, your pillion will be happy.
