The argument is that manufacturers rate their bikes at around 70% of what they can actually carry.
Maybe.

That's all the GoldWing is rated for? I've seen hambeasts riding them that were easily 300lbs each. Poor bike...

I saw one one of those Goldwings the other day that had a couple of hambeasts on it. Must be a local requirement.

I just got home after 2100km over 4 days. I weighed my luggage and was surprised that it was 91.74lbs. On stock shocks! o_O I think I either have to upgrade my shocks or pack lighter! :lol:
On another note, the ride was very smooth through the mountains, valleys and plains. I will post some pictures soon.
