My wife of 39 years decided this week that it was time to go riding with me again and bought a helmet yesterday. Today I took her on a 3 hr ride out to the lake and twisties and stopped off to eat lunch. She says she enjoyed the ride and had a good time but was suprised how well the bike rode with us both.
Personally I was not sure about this ride since I've only had the bike about a month and haven't ridden since 83. I was unsure how the bike would handle 2 up and if I was up to it considering all the chatter I have heard about this bike being "top heavy". To me other than the stop lights I think the bike handled better with my wife on it. Curves and slow turns were no problem 2 up. I believe I now have that back seat filled which is why I chose the RSV in the first place. WE are taking a trip next weekend and I am taking the bike so we can ride in the area. MY wife has already agreed to take a trip to Bandera TX from Houston (about 300 miles) for a weekend trip. Bandera is in the Texas Hill country and has a lot of twisties and great riding as well as an area called Lost Maples which is real nice in the fall. If your a newbie and considering a bike to do 2 up you cant miss with this bike.
have a great day all
