Default Question about a Sportster
Hi all. I curently ride a 2002 Honda Shadow Ace Deluxe 750. I have a possible opportunity to trade it for a 1997 Sportster 1200. I don't like th idea of trading for an older bike, but he only has 12000 miles on it and he has done some work.

The question I have is, can this sportster support 2-up riding? I ride my bike to and from work daily in traffic and open roads, so I need a bike that can do from 25 to aound 65-70 comfortably. My wife likes to ride with me on the weekends. We don't do much long haul riding, but we still like to ride and she gets uncomfortable after awhile on the ACE I have. Any opinions on this trade? Would I be better to hold onto my bike til I could get a larger framed Harley than a Sportster?

I'm looking for any info you guys and gals can provide.

Thanks in advance.

Greg
