How is it with passengers on the 12? So has anyone given a passenger a ride on their 12? How is it?
I've had other Ninjas in the past, and giving the hot ladies rides had never been a problem. But this 12 has the passenger sit so high that I'm scared to do it. The seat and foot pegs puts them very high off the back end of the bike. What to do, what to do? Am I making a big deal out of nothing, or is it somewhat difficult the way the bike was made?
Curious to hear what everyone's opinion is on the matter.

Hey I know we all didnt go out and buy our 12 for passengers...but I'm 23 in college, living in a college town, and when I go out with the pretty ladies, it is nice to take them on a ride on occasion.
Lol...I dont want to pop a wheelie though when they do hop on.

Re: Passengers... Beans...It's not the best. But it'll work. Just remember that the passenger has no grab rails and they're perched up there pretty high. Take it easy on the gas and stop to stretch frequently. -ZXtra

having ridden as passenger on a 12r, busted up and generally in pain, it wasn't all that bad.
that little strap they put there is a POS though.
(70 miles from wreck site to truck, broken foot, damaged ribs)
if you plan on doing a lot of 2-up with it i would recommend the buddy belt or some such contraption for your passenger to use for not flying off back when you hoist fornt end up at 120.

I pulled out to pass with a passenger and damn near looped it. Gotta be easy on the right grip. Swore off passengers after that. Then a buddy of mine wanted to give his girlfriend a ride and wanted me to take her friend. All was well until she mentioned that she was 16. Made that a short trip. Now I have REALLY sworn off passengers.

just throw em on the back and if they are tall, don't go too fast cause they'll act like a windsail.
and if you can't get laid with the 12 in college, you got problems.
