How much is too much ?

[Bigyin]

Saw this bike today and wondered just how much tat you can actually put on a bike ?

Bear in mind this is not a round the world adventurer but a bloke who rides about locally with it fitted up like this all the time ..... and its the baby version of the bike



And for the other side



Anyone better this for number of add ons and i didnt get a pic of all the mounts and sockets on the bars/dash ?

What a plum

There's probably a few examples in the 'sportsbike' field where all manner of 'go faster' bits get added.

Maybe he thought his 300 Versys was too fast and needed the extra weight/drag to slow it down.

It's not my cup'o'tea, but i'm sure he enjoys bolting on the tat so fair do's.

I bet he's the sort of guy who has a pink kitchen

I'm a member of a closed Fb group for the Zed thou. There are a few that love their Ali Express anodised bitz.
I love good aftermarket gear as much as the next man,but most of that gear just cheapens the bike imo.

It his bike, do what he wants, he's no worse than most of the plums with adventure bikes.

Yeah, Suzukis come in full on colours as standard

And there's always the Sqwawkin Chicken accessories.

I get its his bike so do what you like, i just dont understand why it is fitted with just so much unnecessary stuff for riding around East Anglia. I understand on a long trip you might want to carry some fluids but its got not 1 but 4 thermal flasks on it. The guy riding it always has a decent sized rucksack with camelback on and a weird leg harness/bag as well.

For those who remember fernando from VD/TRC, she went from the UK to Australia via the Stans and China with less luggage and stuff on her bike.

Maybe he's a boy scout.

If he lives near you he needs to be prepared for the Artic winds off the North Sea, Gt. Yarmouth Zombie apocalypse (no one is sure if it's happened or that's just Yarmouth), sand storms or seal attack, he's probably from Norfolk, which is enough to explain everything.

Fair point about Yarmouth .... i ride through there and it does look like its populated by zombies, many with Portuguese and Lithuanian accents

I cant wait to see how much he manages to lump onto the 1200GSA he is buying once he gets an A license

This thread seems a bit mean spirited.

Don't worry. I think the owner of that bike has an accessory to to overcome that.

[Supermofo]

Now you mention it's near Yarmouth the flasks are probably disinfectant. All makes sense now. Wise bloke

[Scotsrich]

If you saw all that on a GS you wouldn't give it a second thought

I saw a GS a while back with , headlight, orange lights in the indicators, and 4 auxiliary lights.

7 in total in broad daylight.

The plan worked then.

Perhaps his only form of transport?

Transport? I thought it was his home! The top box probably has a sink in it.
