Am on a road trip down US 101 and ran my bike over a truck scale. 1200lbs exactly including me. Well within the max 1360 for the 09 models. I met a couple with a 08 UC who weighed his in as well and was 1600lbs including him and his wife, and was towing a trailer. I know a few lbs over isn't that critical if the tires are good but 240 + is wayyy more than I would consider safe. Anyone else ever weigh their bikes in over GVRW?

 

The king and I were 1040 at the drags.

 

Not sure I understand the acronyms you are using but the total weight of the bike plus trailer is not being carried through the bike tyres so I don't think that is an issue. The additional loading on the bike tyres due to the trailer should be between negligble and zero if trailer is balanced and correctly loaded - or maybe I am missing the point here

 

I read that as meaning the bike, rider and wife weighed 1600 pounds, but he had a trailer as well. Reading it again I'm not sure! They would be two truly heavy people....

I've never weighed my bike although I do plan to do so. It is extensively modified and must be significantly heavier than when new (many years ago!). I also use a rear tyre with slightly higher load rating, on Avon's recommendation, as my best estimate is when my wife and I are ready to tour we are close to our gross vehicle weight rating limit (GVWR), if not slightly over.

 

I'm pretty sure that after all things considered, that weight must have been bike/passengers&trailer.

Sorry
GVWR= gross vehicle weight rating (maximum combined weight of vehicle/passenger/luggage)
