I do 2 up all the time also. Adjusted the suspension after the first couple rides and she loves it. I am 176 she is 130ish. She loves it. Be prepared for her to complain about sliding forward.
wife just read this and added that the pegs are small and cut off circulation at times. She still loves the ride though.

My wife and I are heavier then you guys are and we have no issues at all, highway or twisties. Just adjust the suspension up and maybe add a few lbs of air to the tires to cover the increased weight.
If she enjoys it as much as my wife does, buy her a corbin seat, she will love you for it. And you'll love it too!Where ever, whenever I go for a ride, may I be joined by friends that have died.
RIP Cyber Poet, watch over us all Marc

My girlfriend and I really enjoy riding my '92 750 all the time! I usually run 42 psi in the rear tire and increase the rear pre-load when we both ride.'REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE ARE

The wife and I ride 2up on my '90 600 all the time and have no problems. Our combined weight is around 320-330lbs so I can't think of any reason a 750 would have any troubles. If you're going to be doing longer 2 up touring trips, you might want to invest in a Corbin seat, since they still make them for the 750 (talk to CyberPoet on here). I run 36psi front and 42psi rear in Continental Road Attacks on mine and it feels great. Since I ride 2up a lot, I just keep the rear preload set for 2 people all the time.John,

You will have no trouble riding 2 up - the extra low end grunt the 750 provides over the 600 will make riding a pleasure. Like everyone else has stated, just adjust your tire pressures and suspension settings2006 Katana 750 - Daily therapy

I hate hitting the brakes two up, cuz then I know the THWACK of helmet on helmet is coming. Pay attention dammit90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

I took my girlfriend around the block once, she got off and said she didn't ever want to get back on it again, and I was glad to hear it90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.
