Teasing, but in reality wouldn't the smaller bike be less comfortable than that bad ass Interceptor? Plus, she can call you Maverick on it, so that's a win!

I grew up riding real Honda 50's, 70's and an XR75 and I presently own a real Honda MR50, QA50, XR75 and a Z50. I got the Chinese 50 knockoffs super cheap from my old boss back in about 2010 when they were basically still like new for cheap ($200 each) and had intended to let my nephews have them. Ended up keeping them at my house as they lived in town. Have since used them every year for Oshkosh pitbikes and on occasion we get them out for guests/kids/grandkids to putt around on. They always start and run and will drag a 300 lb adult around just fine.
When we ride in hills/mountains on vacation my wife ends up leaning into me going downhill and braking which ends up putting a bunch of load on my arms as I am already leaned forward. Seems like a Grom would be more upright position? Just hoping to hear if anyone here has actually tried riding 2 up on one for 20 mile or less non highway rides. Plus the Grom type bike would be easier to load and would be a nice additional upgraded pitbike at Oshkosh type events compared to the little 50's.
