I had an R6 before my SD and she commented on the view, the R6 she could see things and the SD all she sees is the back of my bucket. The rear pegs give off a little more vibe than the front so her feet had some pins and needles. The seat in the rear is a little small but it encouraged her to get her own bike. I guess it would be the same with any non cruiser bike. As far as the rider stand point its not to bad at all.

Default Duke

I'm not sure about the SuperDuke but I have a 690 Duke and have done upwards of about 3,000 miles with passengers. The longest trip was about 450miles and that left the passenger sore for at least a few days afterwards.

From a riders point of view, the lack of a tank for the passenger to brace against during braking and the positioning of the handle at the back make riding on anything other than a long straight reasonably uncomfortable, this probably isn't helped by the banana seat.

Whether or not this helps at all I don't know.
