2 up

Discussion in 'Hypermotard' started by kev cornwall, Feb 18, 2013.

  1. maybe thinking of a hypermotard, have my 996 and a WR450F , both single seaters, poss thinking of one of these aswell for me and my wife so we can go out together, is it a good 2 up/ passenger bike, she really didnt like being perched on R1 , fireblade etc over the years before i went red, would like something sexy looking still which the hyper looks but got to be a practical 2 up bike aswell
     
  2. LOL - have you looked at the HM?!?! ;-)

    I guess it depends how far you want to travel with her on the back, how big she is and how game she is ... but I don't think a HM would be many people's choice for 2-up!

  3. hi dave, yep sorry didnt want it to tour on or anything like that, just bike stuff in south devon and cornwall, oh size 12 and no not game, trying to temp her back on, not been on a bike since my 1000rr blade 5 years back on a paignton bike night, would like to spend some biking time with her but dont want an old mans bike ( says he whos 50 next year ) , but you get my point, ta kev
     
  4. Just buy it. If she gets on, then she gets on :wink:
     
  5. good plan el toro, but if she dont get on, im out on the 996 no contest
     
  6. just a matter of interest dave, monster ok 2 up, assume its a cover on the rear seat, as i can see rear pegs, or again, not the best
     
  7. Kev, theres another thread that says its comfortable for a two's up. Hang on and I'll try and find it :)
     
  8. Luggage is never sexy or did I read that wrong
     
  9. thanks el toro, will check it out, ta kev

  13. No it's horrible the one I pillioned on I thought I was going to fall off backwards!!
    I was bloody glad to get off

    Best Ducati I think if you want to entice your other half is ST or multi with top box

    The most fun pillion for me was the SS

  14. sound advice Viv ^
     
  15. very rare I go pillion

    R1 god dam awfull worst experience ever

    Monster S4 - really good

    However I think a lot depends on whose in front :biggrin: some people are better at taking passangers than others

    Never been pillion on a new monster or 1098
     
  16. I often take my daughter on the beast and she loves it, I often forget she's there.
     
  17. +1
    Been on the back of the 600 and s4 and while both felt 'safe' they were uncomfy - made my legs go numb and ache.
    Can't comment on the new monster.

    I found the 748 really quite comfy and enjoyed it but it does take some getting used to.
