Default Passenger question...

How does your passenger ride on your zx-6r? on my old 250 seems it was alot more comfortable. with the size of the front seat its hard for the person to hold on to you. no? or does your passenger just hang on to that strap? personally i didnt like the way the bike handled when she was holding on just the strap...
whats your thoughts?

My better half only holds on to me when I am really getting on it. She basically locks her calfs under tail plastic and that holds her in place, the only time I really can tell she is back there is when I go to brake and she puts her hands on the tanks, or when getting it and she is holding on to me. She has been a passenger on bikes for several years and she knows how to ride...

Just make sure your girl doesn't put her hands on the tank when you brake if she doesn't have gloves on. My girl put a nice scratch on my tank from her ring-argh and I only have 140 miles on my new bike.
