Warning
If the seat is used to carry small objects,
they must not exceed 3.5 kg (7.5 lb) in
weight, must not impair control of the
motorcycle, must be securely attached and
must not extend beyond the rear or sides
of the motorcycle.
Carriage of objects in excess of 3.5 kg
(7.5 lb) in weight, that are insecure, impair
control or extend beyond the rear or sides
of the motorcycle may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Even if small objects are correctly loaded
onto the rear seat, the maximum speed of
the motorcycle must be reduced to
80 mph (130 km/h).
