just curious

I usually don't haul ass when I'm hauling ass. Many (most?) passengers do not know how to ride and it is too easy to have someone upset the bike at just the wrong moment to risk pushing too far. Light, quick sport bikes do not appreciate inappropriate movement. Having said that my SO (Little Taz) is awesome on the back seat. I will admit to occasionally pushing to maybe 7/10's with her back there because she is so good I can hardly tell she is on there. But it is really hard on her physically, especially when braking. I wish she had a pair of bars to hang on to. So far, in my 40 years of riding she is the one exception to my rule. She knows how to dance in the canyons.
I suppose if I had a heavier, less twitchy bike it would be easier to roll 2Up, but a 600 Sport is not it.
