there must be some guideline on the weight on this.
because lets face it some people out there weigh more than two skinny peeps put together
the max weight for my 95 sp is 310kg
385kg for a bip

Yup, same for my 998R. 210kg net weight and 310kg max weight.

That means you should either target skinny chicks, HellOnWheels, or you could go for lard heaps and put yourself on a really strict diet. Beware of wind and air drag, though, if you choose to lose a lot of weight :lol:

Godt å se at det er flere vikinger her, forresten! :devil:

Well I did the same conversion on my 2002 748R and took pillions with no trouble and I'm not as light as I'd like to be :lol:
Something you do need to consider though is telling you insurance company, being an R and single seat you won't be covered to take pillions :sniff:
Much better off keeping you R for yourself and buying a M600 for her to ride on her own and you can go racing on it at the weekends :lol:

The chances of anything going wrong are probably pretty slim
I would Ducati are covering themselves in these days of sueing over anything

An "R" with a double seat...............shouldn`t be allowed!

Wouldn`t it be easier just to tell her it cant be fitted with a double seat?

next thing they`l be asking to ride one by themseves!

Stamp this nonsense out the sooner the better or they might ask for the vote!:bouncy:
