I've found 2-up on the Blur to be cozy and fun 
especially for relaxed city rides.
Based on past scooters I've had - Vespa GT was also nice, but the high seat height and lack of side stand made it hard for some passengers to get on/off. And my Piaggio BV500 had more than enough power to get around 2-up, but somehow it wasn't as much fun (I think passengers were too high up relative to the rider).
Really nice thing about the Blur is the excellent braking ability - I think that's very important for 2-up, when you have to stop with a big additional weight.
