pillion freindly bike
The other half has given me permission to get a new bike as long as its a bit more pillion freindly than my current sv.
I need something that will still be cheap enough on the insurance but still sporty (fully faired preferred), I was thinking of cbr600f, any advice? Regards Roj |

VFR is about the best, or an old style Faser.
With a sports type bike you tend to lean forward, which many pillions don't like. . |

I've got a CBR600F and yeah, the pillion seat is more comfortable than the SV, I would suggest test riding a CBR before making any decisions, obviously I'm biased towards the CBR.
Have you considered a Yamaha Thundercat? My other half used to have one of these and I used to go pillion a lot before getting my licence. Now that was a comfortable pillion ride! And the Thundercat are fully faired and still fun to ride. |

Well looks like my offering went down like a lead balloon then!
 I didn't even get a slapped wrist for being silly in response to a serious question! What is the forum coming to? :P

The BMW F800S and F800ST look comfortable enough for the pillion. (F800S out in June I think)
