Default Two-up on 800 Sportsman?

Is it ok and safe to ride with two on one of these? My wife is about 5'5 and 110 lbs.... so it's not a weight issue. I want to get another ATV... having had a 700 the first yr they came out. It's been a couple years now and I thought we might try with one 800 to see if she likes wheeling or not, before spending more $$.

Sweet name.

just be careful on hills. I rolled a 700 sp when riding double, I hit a hill pretty slow at just the wrong angle.

The Sportsmans are great for riding double. The seat is very big and the rear racks are very big so you and your passenger have a lot of room. I rode triple a few times on my 04 400 and it wasn't to cramped, but while riding double don't ever hammer the throttle unexpectedly or the passenger will fly off!!!

Why not take a look at the new Sportsman X2?
With a convertable seat / rack box, you can ride safely, and legally!
I've got a 05' Sportsman 500 ho, and it can tote my wife and I around all day!
I have been thinking that the X2 maybe the next quad for us!
