The 650 nighthawk is not a bike for heavy loads. It's given for 160 kg (320 lbs) maximum load on Honda manual. When riding with my honey on the back seat, we are at more than 180 kg with equipment. Some considerable fluffs ! Too heavy... not good for safety and for comfort. And in case of accident, the insurance could argue that the bike was overloaded to conclude that they don't pay what they should pay. You know that in some cases, it can be tremendous amounts of money.
I plan to buy another bike for sunday duo tours. I'm seriously looking to a Kawasaki 1000 GTR. Someone sells a 1988 one for 800 euros (~$1200) near my home. Does anyone know what maximum payload can be put on this bike, according to the manual ? BTW, Honey and me practice sport and eat vegetables. Things are getting better, but even with the best results, I don't think I could bring her on the Nighthawk with a minimum of luggage. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
