All the pillions I've taken any distance are short, 5ft 2 ish none have ever complained. ( well not about the SV anyway, I've had a few complaints about approach speed to speedramps though
) One pillion was used to pillioning on sportsbikes and she said the SV was the most comfortable bike she'd been pillion on.
I pillioned my 6ft tall brother to work one day it wasnt far but he didnt complain either
