Getting back to the original question :!:

One of the best seating positions for carrying a pillion passenger is the Suzuki Hayabusa :!: The passenger is not perched up above the rider like they are with most sports or sports tourers :!:

Cheers,

Chris.

Maybe Chris, but they are SO butt ugly!
If you ate yourself would you become twice as big or simply disappear?

Actually, I love Hayabusa (as you might notice from my page in signature) 8) but it's out of the budget.

As opinions differs, I guess I'll have to try and see :)

Just one more question: is it possible to fit side cases?

I'm seriously considering buying this firestorm.
I'd like to know what polish he uses! Looks great!

I took my son 1700 miles round Belgium/Germany a few years ago as pillion, but I'm only 5'8" and he isn't even that tall, so we weren't cramped.

Not my idea of fun as a two up, though I see several on ferries going 2 up so, given the nice torquey motor, maybe not too bad.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

My ex reckoned the Triboseat cover transformed the passenger experience, she felt much safer and more comfortable and I wasn't getting me nads crushed against the tank everytime I braked.

And incidentally I have one available for sale, :D barely used, 'cos we split up soon after (no connection). Offers?

Are we talking women or Triboseats here? If the former, then no, one is never enough. If the latter, as you know, I have an SV now, so the Storm one is surplus to requirements...

Oh and also a yellow Oxford tankbag for sale, for any of you unfortunate enough to have a matching bike :lol:
