As far as going 80-90 at high RPM, if you're in 6th gear then there really isnt a way to lower those rpm (other than getting a smaller rear sprocket, which i don't recommend).

I'd also advise you to get at least a couple thousand miles under your belt before riding two-up.
+1...Two up with little experience is a big no no. Two up on it? How heavy are you and your girl...I would not be going through a fast interstate two up if both of you are over 300+lbs. Back roads yest...Highway no. As far as going faster without the buzz...Tough luck you bought a bike with less HP. As far as modding that bike...Forget that. a few thousand miles and that bike will be in someone else's hands.
