Anyone know what's the max weight that can be put on a Multistrada? I'm thinking 2-up plus the bags filled.

That must be the actual weight of the bike. Dry weight is 432lbs. there is no way that it can only hold 30 lbs. How much load can it carry?

These are the numbers I found for a 1000:

Dry weight 200 kg.
200 kilogram = 440.924 524 37 pound

Weight with full load 410 kg.
410 kilogram = 903.895 274 96 pound

And for the 1100:

Dry weight without liquids and battery 196 kg.
196 kilogram = 432.106 033 88 pound

Weight fully laden 410 kg.
410 kilogram = 903.895 274 96 pound

From reading several tests of the MTS1000, the wet weight has been reported between 503 - 510 pounds. That would leave just under 400 pounds for additional accessories, luggage, and humans Smile

I guess if you hadn’t taken that little sticker off the side of your frame you’d be able to read it off your bike

Thank you. So about 400lbs is safe. That means I need a lightweight date. Smile
