Unless you're significantly taller than the rider, all you'll see is the back of their helmet.
I'm 5-9. You really think so?

I'm 6'. My ex was 5'9 - 5'10ish. The only time I rode pillion behind him I was unable to see anything apart from my reflection in his helmet until we'd already passed it. Yes, you can hold your head off to one side for a while, but then it starts to get uncomfortable fast.
That said, if riding pillion is what you want, go for it. I just objected to what I saw as an "of course girls don't ride" feel to your post.

I disagree... I ride behind my boyfriend often. I can see all around just fine. I can see over his shoulders just fine. We ride a HD Street Glide.
I think it used to annoy my ex that I could touch the ground on both sides from the pillion seat on his bike while he was on tippy-toes in the rider's seat.... and even the smaller bike I am tippy-toe to touch the ground.
