I am the passenger and curious which bike is more comfortable for me, not the rider.?

We curently have a Triumph Sprint and although he loves the bike, I get a cramp in my leg when we ride. I just want something I will enjoy as much as he does.

the only type that are comfortable for the rider is the big cruiser types like the goldwing or ultra classic , you need to stretch to avoid cramps

The big tourers and cruisers for touring. Gold Wing, Royal Star, Ultra Glide are all about comfort for rider and passenger.
Rather than looking for a new bike I would suggest modifying the Sprint with a new seat, adding a backerst, lowering the footpegs (they are on a bracket and a machine shop whould be able to make a longer one without spending a fortune. I Goldwing is certainly comfortable but if your husband is riding a sprint he NOT gonna want a 'wing. If you are gettig a new bike I'd looks at the Yamaha FJR and the Honda ST1100. Both are similar to the Sprint and you may find one of them better for you.



On more thought. Get your own bike. :)
My BMW K1200LT combines Gold Wing comfort with sport bike handling... Heated seats, stereo speakers that the passenger can control, adjustable foot rests and backrest... My wife just kicks back and reads a book while we're riding. When I can feel the front of her helmet bumping against the back of mine, I know it's time to stop and wake her up, because it makes me nervous riding down the highway while she's sleeping on the back seat.
The Goldwing by Honda is the most comfortable bike -- period. It's more comfy than most cars.
Just get your own bike and don't worry about his comfort.
Honda Goldwing, my wife falls asleep on the back seat. It's like a Lazyboy on 2 wheels.
there are a lot of different bikes that are passenger friendly- the honda Valkyrie touring, suzuki intruder 1500 LC, Kawasaki Vulcan Classic touring, Kawasaki Concourse, the obvious Goldwing, The Triumph rocket III touring, Victory's touring bikes are nice...I've got an older Victory V-92 that I put passenger floorboards, a custom seat on, and a big backrest(sissy bar) and made my rider much happier.
If modifying the bike isn't a possibility (different seating would help, but you've still got the stiffer sport suspension) then I suggest a side car. It would let you stretch out your legs.
