Take youre time before you ride someone. I ve been on bikes for about 3 years and this is my 3rd bike and yet I dont ride passengers allot maybe once in a while. Its very different when you have someone on the back like it was said they need to know how to ride in the back. Plus you are responceble for another life. I try to stay out of riding passengers

yea im gona have to agree with aken. i took my older sis for a quick ride and told her to lean with me on the turns but you can definitely feel it. too much weight goin in one direction for slow turns.

Besides, since when do you yourself actually move your body when riding, unless you're trying to hammer through a corner? I never move my body except to look around, or if I need to swerve around something.

I say don't ride two-up if you can help it on sportbikes, it's no fun for anyone. But that's just my opinion.

Untrue, my usual passenger has gotten pretty good on the back of the bike. Our last ride I didn't even know she was there. We actually took a spirited ride through some twisties. Now it certainly wasn't hanging off 70mph through the 25mph turn but we were going 50-60 and just leaning the bike a little more. It was a very good time.

Take it easy so the both you can learn and feel how the bike rides with two.
