I have ridden around 10 k kms, almost two months trip with a pillion on my Tenere. It wasnt any problems at all, the gf didnt complain. Actually I suspect her to dose off now and then back there which she has more or less admitted LOL. So it cant be that bad...
But I had upgraded both front and rear suspension, had an aftermarket seat, and a topbox with a backrest. And also changed the rear sprocket for one with more teeth - so lower geared and smoother ride, gearchange etc.
Nowadays we do the same with a 250 cc bike though. Its equally good for two up, but we keep maybe 5-10 km/h less speed on the highways.
