    thanks but what I'am after might be in the reference section of the haynes manual

    For example

    BMW GSA
    Unladen weight, fully fuelled 256kgs
    DRy weight 223kgs
    max permissible weight 475kgs
    max vehicle pay load 219kgs

    but I need the same specs for the Varadero Please.

    I did look this up once. I am sure it used tobe on hondas website and also it was about 300kg of passenger and luggage. I amcertain that whatever it was it was the highest in hondas range.

    Edit..... Just looked it up: kerb weight 265kg; max weight capacity 201kg.

    Double edit..... in theformat requested:

    Unladen weight, fully fuelled 265kgs
    DRy weight 250kgs
    max permissible weight 466kgs
    max vehicle pay load 201kgs

    i looked it up once and i cant remember the exact figures, but one reason i bought a varadero was because im a fat ******* and this bike can carry me and 100kg of kit.
    if you weigh all your camping gear you might be surprised, 100kg is a massive amount of stuff, loads more than i take away with me and i go loaded for bear.

    I was wondering but the phrase " HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I PUT ON HER" confused me. I was worried just as I bought a GSA the rest of you decided they were crap.

    I already knew that about GSA's Boris!

    I'll stick to my Varadero mate, although train weight? I'm unsure of. I always associate that with trailers for some reason! Varadero with a trailer???? Now that's just wrong!
