Its definitely heavy, but I don't think it's too heavy.
I would say bump up the preload on your rear shock to compensate, though. As I said earlier: check your tyre for its weight code to be sure that the weight going through that particular tyre is not exceeded.
If you are still not sure, BMW should be able to tell you what was the factory specified weight limit for the rear subframe, but I don't think you will have exceeded it. After all, this sort of thing is what this bike was built for... |
