Most sportbikes have the option of putting a rear seat cowl. Bikes like the 2004+ Honda f4i are banana seats though, and with banana seats you cant put a solo cowl on.

Very few bikes are strictly a 1 person bike. Even though it might not be comfortable to ride 2 up on a lot of bikes, its still possible.

Some Ducati bikes are not made to be ridden two-up. Some, such as the old 996, come in monoposto and biposto flavors (single and two seaters), but you can't just swap the seat and tail section - you'd have to get the subframe for the two-seat if your bike originally was a single-seater. Ok, too much info.
