The bike'll hold up fine.

The girlfriend'll be bored, sore, annoyed and want to kill you/herself.

I used to take my girlfriend on the same bike for long trips. The only thing was that she complained that the seat was a little hard and I had to stop every now and then for her to stretch her legs.

Otherwise the bike coped fine and she was a very good passenger apart from the need for stopping.

I don't recommend pillin on a bike. Could be quite dangerous. Especially when you come up.

Unless of course you've got enough bangin '88 Detroit techno to last you the way in which case..... fvckin go for it.

Hi

I have an FZR (same model, same colour).

It will cope with a pillion fine. It won't care.

However the pillions sits up pretty high and far back and it will affect the handling.

And the seat is small and not well padded, with high footrests . It won't be comfy.

All the best

I always really look forward to watching my gf get off after a long trip, legs always go numb and she wanders around the car park or where ever looking like a proper tool! Laughing

Not much fun for her, but very entertaining for me, having said that I'm not much better myself! Laughing
