yes! There's a reason it's a back seat... just like in a car. No one ever sits in front of the driver... although when I was a very young kid, my father would put me on the tank in front of him for a couple circles in an empty parking lot. Other than that, when you are riding on the road, a passanger should ALWAYS sit on the passenger seat!
A passenger on a motorcycle has to sit behind the driver - Everywhere!!!!!! It is very dangerous to sit in front of the driver. It blocks the drivers vision & impedes control of the machine.
Sitting behind the driver or passenger in a vehicle is generally safe, as long as you wear a seatbelt and follow all safety guidelines. However, the middle back seat is considered the safest seating position in a vehicle.
Open the door, and sit beside the driver in the passenger seat

You need a motorcycle license to drive a motorcycle (Class M) in Wisconsin. If you are under 18, you need an instruction permit to drive one. There is no minimum age to ride a motorcycle in Wisconsin, but "a child has to ride behind the driver (cannot sit in front of the driver), and has to wear a helmet. The child has to be able to reach the foot pegs - the foot pegs can legally be raised." See the related link for more on motorcycle licenses in Wisconsin.
sit behind the driver so he can see you in the mirror.
In NZ, where I live, sitting in the front passenger seat is standard practice.
It depends. If the driver is quite skilled and adult then its ok, but if he is a teen then its a wrong thing to do
The child must be able to rest their feet on the pegs and be of an age to sit still and concentrate.
There are times when it is easier to be a driver than to be the passenger; this may be the case for individuals who use motorcycles. Even though the driver has full control of the vehicle, the passenger can still contribute to the over-all safety of the motorcycle ride. There are a number of ways that a passenger can ensure his and the driver’s safety while riding the motorcycle, and some of these are specified in the motorcycle insurance coverage as well. Here are some tips on how to be a better motorcycle passenger. Step 1: When mounting or dismounting from the motorcycle, make sure that you always do so from the left side; you can start this step by placing your food on the floorboard or the rear foot peg. You can then swing your right leg over the bike’s seat and comfortably position yourself on it. By doing the mounting and dismounting from just one side, you will enable the driver to get accustomed to the added weight you place on the bike, and he will adjust much easier with the change. Step 2: During the actual ride, you can grip the handholds on the side chrome bars or on the seat itself. You can also wrap your arms around the driver’s waist; never hold on to his shoulders, as this may cause him to lose his balance, and in turn to lose control of the motorcycle. Step 3: When you navigate a turn, lean towards the direction of the turn itself; resist the urge to stay upright or to lean in the other direction to keep your balance. By leaning on the direction of the turn, you are helping both the driver and the motorcycle in navigating the turn more efficiently. Step 4: Being the passenger does not mean that you can just sit back, relax and ignore the things that are happening around you. Keep your attention on the road and your surroundings, so you can alert the driver of any obstacles that he might not be aware of. Even if the bike is covered by motorcycle insurance, it is still best to keep your wits with you and avoid any accidents on the road. Step 5: Do your best to stay alert and awake during the motorcycle ride. On the other hand, refrain from making any sudden movements or noises that might distract the driver, causing him to lose concentration on the act of driving. Knowing how to safely ride a motorcycle as a passenger would ensure that you get the most out of the experience. Once you get used to it, you can enjoy the ride more, and be a more valuable companion to the motorcycle driver on longer trips.
