Not just Gross Axle Weight Rating Rear (GWAR-R) that Bill mentions, but overall payload capacity. If your TM tongue weight is 500lbs, your bike weighs 600lbs, add 200lbs for yourself, and you’re at 1,300lbs payload before you add passengers, the bike loading equipment, and any additional cargo. You’re quickly approaching 3/4 ton (2500/250) truck territory. You’ll almost always run out of payload capacity before you touch the towing capacity.
