2 Up Riding

I'm trying to get info on 2 up riding on a 2017 T100. I weigh in at 240 and my wife comes in at 130. Is the 900 engine strong enough to run at freeway speed of 70 with 2up? I'm not concerned with the suspension. Just the available power.

 

Thanks to everyone who answered my question about the capability of 2 up riding on the T100. Sadly, I can't find any dealer that will let me take my passenger on a test ride. I guess they want to keep her for collateral to make sure I come back.......Silly them.

 

The dealer trails you on another bike. But good idea.

 

Well, I found a dealer that WILL let me test ride them with my wife. It’s 80 miles away but worth it. In fact, he offered me a new T120 for $9900. That’s less than the T100. So, Wednesday we’ll try them both.
I’m not usually this lucky, but we’ll see.

 

Thanks for your input. What exactly don't you like about the engine ? The power or the quality?

 

I know what you mean there. I certainly grew up on, and, loved the 300 degree sound but I guess I will put up with what I can get.

 

Well the angst is over. I went with the cranberry and silver T120. I won’t actually pick up until Tuesday, but the one that I test rode was a torque monster. After riding an 800 pound or 1000 pound Harley, you really have to pick your line in a curve or corner differently. The T120 flicks around in those situations.....the Harley sort of tractors around. MUCH heavier steering on the H.D. I’m going to love this Bonny. Thanks again for all the input.
