    FZ 09 Two Up?

    Anyone have experience riding the FZ 09 with a passenger. I'm looking at the 2017 one with the updated front end to help with the squishy suspension issues. Just wondering overall comfort for the passenger (ergos, seat, etc)

    If you plan on riding 2-up a lot, have you considered the FJ-09? same bike but more passenger friendly. Haven't ridden either personally but the FZ09 doesnt look too comfy for a pillion.

    Ask "Yev" on here, he has probably 25k on his '14 since he bought it new, with a few long 2-up trips.
    He did upgrade both the front and rear suspension, and bought a custom seat though.
