Hey Guys,
I looking at the 2011 iron 883 for my first bike. I'm 5'3" 140 pounds and the wifey is petite. It's mostly going to be a cruiser for me but I'd like to ride with the wife as well. Some threads I've read say the this bike does not have the power for two. Can you guys comment on this. I'm not looking to race or anything but I do want to keep up with traffic

 

As far as keeping up with traffic, in and around the city no problem, but being from the suburbs of Chicago i know that there are some crazy drivers on 290 (i hate to admit i might've been one of those crazy guys) and that you may want to stick to the right lane. I say get the bike, but i may be a little bias. To be honest if you're going to be doing a lot of long 2 up trips i might suggest looking at something else.. But if your just bar hopping/ sight seeing around town with the occasional longer trip i see no problem what so ever with the iron. Good luck

 

I weight 145. Have a petite gf. I have had no power issues with her on the bike with me. Bike still has plenty of go on side streets and on the freeway. Not the most comfortable bike for a passenger but she doesn't care she just likes the ride.

 

Thanks for the replys guys. Pics should be coming soon.

 

Did a few tiny mods to the bike over the past months...Flipped mirrors, "Carbon Fiber" vinyl wrap on the fork tubes, 48 seat, and today I did my exhaust.

48 mufflers, scotch brite to remove the chrome finish, 3/8" drilled through the baffle to wake up the tone a bit, and black header wrap to complete the chrome removal/coverup process. Total cost $74.

I'll try to get better pics tomorrow after I get the chance to hose the pollen off the bike.
