Two-up on a 600?

#1 Post by jmcbgardner » Tue May 28, 2019 11:01 am

I'm curious for those with the 600 what your experience has been riding two-up? I realize that the combined weight is the overarching issue here. The wife and I combined are about 320 lbs. Maybe there is a 600 rider out there who is around that weight themselves that could speak to how it handles that amount of weight.

Thanks!

I have a 600, my wife an I are also around 320 lbs. The 600 handles just fine with us on it. The acceleration is decent and I've been up to 75 mph with her on the back. We've even gone up a 175 ft. high bridge at freeway speeds without loosing any speed. I do have the 2-up rear spring installed. I haven't noticed any difference in handling with her on the Ryker.
