  1. getting a Bi P for my 749s next week as Che fancies coming out with me,, thing is i am not sure just how comfortable the seat will be for her,, does anyone take their GF / partner / wifey thingy out on their 749 and how do they like it / opinions etc.. :)
     
  2. Put it this way - with a 749/999 Bip, if your passenger loves going out with you ... it's because they love you. True story :)

  3. As Loz says it won't be out of enjoyment. She will sit above you catching all the wind which she will brace against only to be thrown into your back/helmet when you decelerate, brake etc. You will also need to keep your gear changes as smooth as silk and don't expect to go very far. Enjoy.

  8. Pillion on a 749/999... You've got to be kidding?!

    I'd prefer to walk. Carrying my wife.
     
  9. :Hurting::Hurting: don't do it it will end in tears it could mentally scar you for years to come with the ear bashing you could get from her after
     
  10. I put one of those grippy seat covers on my 999 'pillion seat', it helps but it aint much fun for me or her.
     
  11. Been europe etc 2 up on 999 no problem, 3-400 mpd easy. Find them really comfortable, she do too and we're getting on a bit.
     
  12. did a trial fitting today,,,,, methinks she will be ok [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  13. Make sure she has proper attire please
    Not sure I would like to be perched up there :Wideyed:
     
  14. yip, hope shes not got a problem with heights
     
  15. In the right attire and the right position she won't be sitting as comfy as she is now.
    Last time i was on the back of one of these it was killer on the wrists as well from the rapid deceleration and pushing off onto the gas tank.
