I do, and I have no issues. The bike gets a little butt heavy with a passenger but nothing unmanageable. These things have 200 pound load ratings on the racks, so unless you're ferrying me around you should be OK. Obviously you want to be a little more conservative with the throttle - these bikes will wheelie, and extra weight on the back will make that more of an issue. You'll also want to have the passenger get off and walk on extreme hill climbs. This applies to all single seat bikes with an aftermarket seat though.

Can-Ams are decent bikes, but are also overrated if you ask me. Sure, when you start getting into the big 800 and 1000CC models you're getting a beast, but the lower end machines are nothing special.
