Max weight loading?
I’m looking at all possibilities for an extended overland trip for two. One of the first bikes looked at is the GS 1200 Adventure, as advertised it has a max payload of 476 Lbs. Considering I’m 240 Lbs and my partner is 140 Lbs that don’t leave much. By the time we add our riding gear and a tent we have just about got to the limit! Now looking at some of the bikes on this site it appears that either the riders and pillions are way lighter than me and my partner or the bikes are carrying way more than the recommended max weight? We could use two bikes but the trouble is I can’t help but think that as soon as you put 4 wheels on the ground we may as well do this in a 4x4. Thanks in advance for all suggestions and advice.
Dave.
