    Rear Luggage

    Howdy folks,

    On the @ and previous bikes ive owned, there is a weight limit of 10kg that can be carried on the rear rack. I guess this is Hondas way of limiting any claims (plus keeping the bike stable of course)

    How much weight do you think the rear rack could REALLY take - (im thinking 15 to 20 kg myself all safely secured).

    Cheers

    Ant.

    about 15kgs but when you load the bike the first time i loaded up moby i nearly stacked him in the garages out back of my place it prompted a rapid rethink on how i loaded the bike
