I bought a Yamaha FJR and it felt like a bicycle after the Voyager.
And there are lighter sport tourers than the FJR.

I stopped at the liquor store the other day and I fit 2 boxes of wine one jug of Wild Turkey 2 bottles of wine 2 bottles of vodka and a bottle of rum. The cashier didnt understand it was all going on a motorcycle.
I dropped my Roadmaster 2 weeks ago while making a narrow u turn and it dragged the kury hwy bar pegs. No damage at all to motorcycle. Pick it up no problem. Butt in the seat and lift.

Ya i dropped my Voyager once. No damage as it was sitting still and it was kind of a controlled drop, i just lost my balance on the new bike and I had not put the air shocks in it yet to lower it so i was on my tippy toes. lol But ya put your butt in the seat grab the bars and the passenger crash bar and lift with your legs. Just be careful not to lift to fast, you might go all the way over and that would be bad.

Been there , I dropped my nomad when I first got it in front of a restaurant and got help picking it back up . I saw a video of a small lady picking one up with ease . Now I know how . Haven't done it since though . Quite embarrassing
