quick weight question

Post by pinkyfloyd »

Just a quicky. How much weight can a Storm take. I have a 99 storm and I was just wondering, rider and pillion, whats the most it can cope with without the bike begging for relief?

Cheers.

33st 12lbs = 215kgs..............which means even fat old me could carry a skinnyish bird on the back, although it would be tough because i haven't got rear footpegs and i'm fitting a race single seat unit :?
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
