The heaviest bike (biggest too) I've ever ridden was my buddy's Boss Hoss. His had the 350 V8. 1200lbs.
It was actually balanced pretty good. I was being gentle cause my buddy's bike ya-know, but I could tell it wouldn't be kind to hot-doggin' fools.
Heaviest bike I've lifted up on the center-stand; my Goldwing. 850lbs. The engineering of it is good, location, leverage and all that, but it's still 850lbs that requires determination and a pretty good grip.
Heaviest passenger; my buddy Paul that I had to give a lift during bike week to go get his bike. Dadgum Paul is like 6'3/265 or whatever...and he's climbing on the back of my wing all shaky as hell. Felt like I had Herman Munster back there. I swear it was a test to see if I could hold the bike up. It inspired me for the tattoo on the inside of my eyelid, "The passenger shall not be bigger than I am"
