Pillions up high on sportsbikes

Gives new meaning to black whoresholes.

Pillions on my Daytona 675 fu*k the handling and make the bike a dog.

Pillions on the loaner Daytona 955i kick ass! You can get along at a decent speed, she doesn't get blown about or off the back AND you can still weave in and out of every second white stripe on the road at speed. Was bloddy impressed and finally see the point of the bigger Daytona.

I imagine the only thing more painful than watching a pillion on a sprotsbike is being that pillion.

I dunno... No complaints fom my pillion, apart from the fact that the seat needs to be a bit higher for her to see anything.

Quite like the 955i 2 up.... except for the extra tyre wear... mind you my 1999 does not have the really high pillion seat

Saw a couple on a GSXR last week on Queen St - the pillion was wearing a short skirt (rendered even shorter by the high footpegs).
Luckily, she had shapely legs.

Having a pilion on the bike (GSXR1000K4) doesn't bother me. The only time you really notice them is under really hard braking. Other than that just be smooth and they will be no problem. You can go almost as fast with a good pilion.

yup passengers perched up high,
da missus and kidz took a while before liking 8 inches above me, and my missus is a little taller than me, so it must look really silly

Nice quote on you sig line... Ahem.

I mostly ride 2up with my mate Nikki (hot Dutch girl). She positively affects the visual performance. But, even looking at the throttle in a careless way puts air between the front tire and the tarmac. Ballast makes a huge difference.

I've ridden pillion on a sportsbike, the seat was higher but it allowed me to see upcoming corners/speedbumps etc.

High centre of gravity isn't so much the problem as having a lot of weight out the back is. All that finely tuned setup goes completely out the window.

This is why i like petite Asian girls...

you really have somthign against wheelies dont you.


Your bike weighs 40 - 200 kg more therefore its going to feel harder to lean and pick up.
