Has anyone ever seen this seat for the CBR? Sick

Actually, it looks very comfortable I'm just not into the backrest idea.



apologies if you have one

That won't make any difference to the aerodymics with a pillion sitting there.

I assume you remove it or fold it down when you don't have a pillion.

i think its a cool idea, nice to have something like that to make pillions feel a bit safer. It'd b crap if it didnt fold down though

That's cool, assuming it folds down / unclips when not in use. The pillion seats on most sportsbikes are utterly shite (especially if you spray them with silicon polish Twisted Evil) so anything that stops the pillion flying off the back without having to resort to a constant bearhug can't be bad.

This one on the Hayabusa shows a folding down seat, so I assume that the cbr is the same

There's a few out there of that style that fold down, so I'd presume that one also does.

Seems to be a good idea for new-pillions or those that take pillions for long distances. I'd be worried about pillions falling asleep on the back or something though on long journeys Neutral.

Personally i like my bike's and my girls for that matter to have a nice little cute behind, so i'd probably take it off, but Thumbs Up Thumbs Up on the practicality side of things, i'd have it on for a long two up journey.

I can fall asleep on the back of a normal pillion seat you don't need fancy backrests!
