Hi

Would suspect it will depend on where you are riding. Long cruise at constant speed it will probably not make a great amount of difference. Round town I suspect it would be rather more noticeable.

I would be very surprised if you got 220 miles on a tank full.

Extra weight of a pillion will probably wear out tyres more rapidly.

All the best

I get about 150 out of the SV650 without a pillion and only 125 with before the fuel light starts nagging.
