Horses for courses. Just have to change what you use these things for.
I have a 2000 with the aluminium frame, but never carry a pillion or luggage. I do have the single-sided exhaust, but I figure two out of three ain't bad. Mine is fine, checked weekly, it's not going to snap.
If they are shaving weight off these 1k bikes then they are meant to be race repilicas and shouldn't even have pillion pegs.
I'm not a fan of bikes (outside proper tourers like a cruiser, some BMWs or Goldwing) having a pillion on 'em.
The more people on bikes the better. Encourage your pillion to get their own bike.
