Yup, what he ^^ said. I used to find the bike wandered with me and g/f on and our combined weight was around 150kg. The max payload of the bike according to the manual is 190kg.

What tyres are you using? I had Mitas e07s at one point that would slide all over. Most other tyres have been pretty good.
