It's probably better than looking at the Gold Wing, BMW K or Ultraglide which are all amazing continental cruisers but a lot of weight and responsibility for the rider.
Maybe encourage her to take up riding instead. Then you get 2 lightweight fun bikes. You can easily get to Spain and back on a 600 sports.
Think we've all been down the comfy pillion rabbit hole, your darling other half says she needs a comfortable pillion seat, what you hear is look at buying a new bike :) I've actually gone ahead and bought what I think is the best compromise only to have it vetoed after 1 short ride.
Airhead-
Yeah my other half won't go near the back end of a bike now. Back in the day we went all over Europe, 2 up on a GSXR1000. I'd convinced her that was luxury after a trip to Devon on my old TL1000s with a gaffa-taped copy of the Guardian weekend as a pillion seat.
Buy the Daytona already. It probably will get nicked but then again, anything else will too. Life's too short, etc.

She said I should get the Daytona since we’re young, no responsibilities yet actually. But insurance was £900 third party F&T and it will almost certainly be nicked.
I might just get an FZ6 or something. Lightweight, fun, acceptable but not great for longer trips
