Pillion Passenger Tips...

roygrif · #1 (**permalink**) 4 Days Ago

My girl is complaining of being uncomfortable on the back of my 95' speed triple, is there anything I can do or any tips that would make her more comfortable? She's about 5' 7" and 125lbs or so. I bought the bike specifically for touring 2 up and camping on as my other bikes aren't suitable for that and I don't dig traditional sport touring type bikes.

No predictable answers like "remove the passenger pegs" or "bolt the tail cowling on" or such!

teach her to ride her own bike. then you can't hear any complaints.

Get a 1098 or a GSXR. Guaranteed that'll make the Speed Triple way comfier.

Sorry, fresh out of useful answers at the moment. Does she have any specific complaints?

Cheers,
-Kit

Been there done that! What did I say about predictable answers? I actually taught her to ride on my BSA but obviously she can't keep up the pace against a T3.

Roygrif you havent stated what your lady friend finds uncomfortable about being on the back of your Speed 111.
My 11 year old son, and my wife who is the same hieght as your lady (when she isnt riding her own bike) finds being pillion on my Daytona 900 very comfortable. In fact my wife thinks its the best pillion bike she had been on for years.
More info required perhaps
