just curios here,? does a bike have a weight limit? and if so what if you are fat, or have a pillion on, and what if they are fatter, does that mean you might just fit a pack of ciggys in your pocket.?

187kg all in, from memory,which includes luggage, top box, pillion, everything basically, but that's when your rear shock starts suffering, especially if it's the original, and it will definitely pay to have 15w oil in your forks rather than the 10w to make it much more stable up front.
