I am at the ideal weight for my height. six feet two and 197 pounds and I have no problem with the Speedmaster as a ONE UP touring machine. Its ideal for one rider and his or her gear.

Adding my wife and then packing for her as well would just be too much weight and would detract from the bikes performance.





I'd tend to disagree also. I weigh in at around 196 pound, my good lady (I think, tho it's always safer not to approach this subject...) at around 140 pound.
Didn't notice any real change in performance when we rode over for the Asendorf meet (around 1400 mile) With the two of us and all the gear for the weekend. Possibly a bit wobbly occasionally setting off from stop but no worries once going...


Sometimes it takes a whole tank full of fuel before you think straight
