For a new S83, that sounds reasonable. I bought a used 2005 S83 for $5400 (USD) last summer. It had around 9000 miles on it.

As for 2-up riding, I find it a little cramped. I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5'7". Will they let you test ride it? My dealer let me take it out solo, and then again with my wife on it. On a 5-mile test ride, it seemed fine, but when we take it out for an hour or two, is when I wish it was a little larger.

It has plenty of mid-range power for 2-up riding, however.
