If they have never ridden, I am not sure if I would let them 2-up in the first season.

So I picked up a GS500 last summer as my first bike and have been having a blast. I guess they're seeing how much fun it is and want dive in to riding too. We swing by Kahuna today and they were looking at a few bikes they thought looked good. They're leaning towards doing a lot of 2-up riding and so we were checking out a Vulcan 900. Seems like it would have decent power for both of them, but not too much that they'll be in danger. Should they be looking at anything else? I'm just starting to look into that whole cruiser line of bikes, it never really appealed to me before.
Thanks guys

What does it have to do with what they are made of?? They can be made of steel for all I care. It's the experience. I haven't seen a rider who would go 2-upping in their first season, at least for the long rides. It's the experience that matters. Riders need to feel their bike, need to have experience riding on their own before picking up a passenger.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
Time varies person to person. But if you care about who will be sitting on the back then you will take whatever time nessesary to build your skill to a level where you are very confident. Your putting a persons life in your hands and that shouldn't be something taken lightly.
