That pillion seat doesn't look accommodating

You would need a size 8 bimbo girlfriend to to take touring with you...that doesn't sound much of a hardship though.

I quite like the look of it.

As far as tourers / GT bikes go yeah it does look good but as Duke points out the pillion seat is a little lacking.

No I said the pillion seat is fine if your girlfriend is a size 8 fittie.

So I'd either have to fit a custom seat or get the missus to start working out!

Post by **duke63** » 02 Oct 2015, 12:38

Or trade her in

Or take someone else's missus for a rideout

Wanted: Size 8 fittie to ride pillion on a wafer thin seat.
Must be willing to put up with fat wobbly rider.

Slightly off topic but anyone ever considered getting one of these for the passenger seat?

The nose reminds me of something

I'm sure KTM designers are all massive Star Wars fans.
