Haven't had my missus on the back, but I have had lots of others' They didn't complain one bit.....
Only bit of advice I can offer don't act the t**t with her on the back, we used to go all over on the bike till I acted the t**t on a ZZR 1100 that's the last time she's been on pillion that was about 10 years ago.
You can get rubber mesh to put on the pillion seat that makes life easier for the pair of you.They don't slide about at all so can make a big difference.They're cheap enough on Ebay.
One of her concerns is how the pillion seat is that bit higher than front seat The grip will help with the sliding on the seat. Looking at other bikes she likes the bonneville style seat
I toured with my wife as pillion in July on the 600, journey was Cork, Rosslare, Ferry to France Cherbourg, Ducey (stayed 4 nights), Albert (Stayed 2 Nights), Maastricht (stayed 4 Nights). The return trip was in 660 miles 24 hours Maastricht, Calais, Ferry, Dover, Pembroke, Ferry, Rosslare,and back to Cork. No comfort issues of any sort just a great holiday, my wife is a regular traveler and enjoys it. Rear Suspension was jacked up a little to cater for the extra weight of the full Panniers.
