Has she tried spending time on your 996? If not, get a pillion-pal belt, ignore the funny looks you get in petrol stations and off you go.

Put someone on the back of the 996 you must be jokin :o
Pillion pal belts are great used them hundreds of times sometimes on the bike aswell ;)

We have tried the 996 and not that comfortable bit cramped and high up was the answer, still use it though

My wife found the pillion seat on the 996 and 748 more comfortable than the Monster :o
Think it's the angle of the seat as she always felt as if she was sliding off the back or it might have been 14 tooth front sprocket and a 996 engine in the monster that gave her that sensation :lol:
Solved now though she has her own Monster :eureka:
Think if we were thinking of long trips on one bike I'd look at a numptystrada :D

I took a pillion on the back of s4 with a corbin. Has sculpted seat and fits better. The passenger was 12 stone and said was comfy.Big rear end tho. My ex missus was 8.5 stone skinny arse and moaned like hell with standard monnie seat. Im taking new girlfriend on ride soon whose about i would say 9ish so will get verdict from her.

I switched to a Multistrada for this very reason. Wife is far more comfortable on the MS than the S4. In fact after the test ride on the MS, she didn't want to get back on the S4 to go home!

MS gives me fun when solo and comfort when 2-up; best of both worlds!

My daughter did 600 miles on mine in 2 days without a word of complaint and i've enjoyed being pillion on my bike in the past. I don't like bikes that have too much room between pillion and rider so I found the monster fine.
