[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 139340, member: 792"] Do the authorities require a document to confirm the maximum loads? Would the bike ever get weighed by the authorities under each tire to see if you have overloaded it? Do you plan to ride it by yourself or loaded for a trip to Portugal with wife/girlfriend (not both o_O )? According to this [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_/5_motorcycles[/URL], these bikes can carry 418 lbs/190 kg in weight. This is probably as old a bike that has that data available and is pretty comparable. Maybe Bananaman can tell us if he has weighed his bike with passengers and luggage? [/QUOTE]
