The person in front is the driver, while the one in back is the passenger. Would be popular among men who must share a bike, but are uncomfortable touching each other.

       i like the idea, not because of the touch issue, but because of the comfort the extra legroom this design would afford. it would also make an interesting platform for electrification due to the low-and-long chassis (for battery mounting).   

       for that, you get to see what the passenger sees, a bun +   

       please note the image i've linked. an interesting hybrid of sorts.

       It's still an ok idea, even though it already has a patent - see link.

       Freddy, Freddy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy; I want to be touching you.
Even though we can't be married,
I can ride pillion on your carriage.
For we'll be complete,
sharing the same seat,
On your motorbike, built for a screw.

       This is what sidecars are for, is it not? Anyway, it's kinda baked. Have you ever seen a Honda GoldWing? I'll look for a link. The problem with elongating the motorcycle is that handling would be a total b*tch at the kinds of speeds motorcycles achieve. Sorry, it's too dangerous.
