have an 06 610, owned it since new. My wife went on the back of it once in early 07. Since then I have traded her on a new younger model that is happy to go on the back every day to and from work. We did that for 18 months 55-60km's each way. It sure isn't a gold wing but it's do-able! Infact she loves that bike and it's the bike that got her interested in riding! Now she's a pretty good MXer considering how long she's been riding.
