    <intrigued>
    So, should I try riding the Wing into work tomorrow with no lid, then?
    Or should I re-tax it first?

    You might have to ride facing backwards though.

    Depends on whether the 410kgs is unladen of gross vehicle weight. Surely the
    wing isn't 410 kg unladen. If it no longer qualified as a bike presumably
    you wouldn't be allowed to use the solo motorcycle parking bays:-(

    I`ve seen you extras! Unladen would be dry weight - is that the Honda
    quoted figure?

    From the Workshop manual:

    Dry weight: 370kg, Curb weight: 405kg.

    My mistake.
