I don't have the time to look this up but here's what you can do:

Find the weight of the bike fully fueled. Now look at the specifications on the Buell page for the bike and look for the GVWR. Subtract the road-ready weight from the GVWR and what's left over is how much weight the factory says you can put on the bike and still ride it safely.

Have fun.

Only 390? Hmm. I guess my wife will have to follow me with the car since she cant ride with me anymore.

So, the max load capacity is 390 huh? Good thing I got the woman a '07 Ninja 250 to learn on. She reallllllyyyyy wants a Firebolt bad. She loves the 1125r but is afraid it's too much for her. Plus the seat height is to tall. Even the Firebolt is, but maybe with a lowering kit it'll work out?

For now though, no more two up. Just a Ninjette and 1125r. lol

That's from Buell.com in the "specs" section.
That would mean they have about a 460 curb weight.
