My wife has ridden with me a few times on the CB1100. I hardly notice she's there until I have to stop. Particularly on a steep-ish descent, the brakes have to work a deal harder than with one person only on the bike. I don't find it surprising at all. I also carry a fair load when camping on tour. It certainly weighs the back down, but I must be used to it as I find the bike handles OK. I guess it would be better without gear, but it's a price for touring. Isn't it?
