Dave,

I mean no offense or anything, but I have had 400lbs+ on my 250 (2up) and didn't have a bottoming out problem. This is, of course, street pace, so what am I missing? Honestly, I just don't see a stock 250 with 250lbs bottoming out the front under legal speeds and an assumed level of smoothness.

What am I missing? Potholes, speed bumps, stop sticks, wheelies? I am 200lbs fully geared and my best skill is silly hard braking at corner entry. Even on the street, I make my passengers nervous more often than not approaching a sharp corner. I just wish I could keep our helmets from bumping into each other. lol

Honest question sir....
