I've carried a lady who weighted twice myself (and almost as much as the bike). The little ninja didn't move very fast, but we got there. I think she became a bit self conscious, so she didn't want to ride after that, lol.

I just finished typing a very long post that got deleted by a web page load error . It basically said that I shift at higher rpm with a passenger to increase time between shifts and make it seem smoother; be careful while braking because the front forks tend to dive easily with the added weight. I've ridden with my gf at a total weight of about 380lbs and have had no problems. Make sure your passenger knows to lean with you in turns and hold on while you accelerate / brake.

The fact that you asked the question seems to imply you have not done this before so be real careful if you are a new rider. It will change the balance of the bike having that extra person sitting up high behind you.
