Believe it or not your right I found it slightly better with the extra weight in the back, felt a lot less twitchy over bumps at speed and corners too felt more confident! As confident as you can be with a few 100kilos of iron unsecured riding behind your missus!
The pads were an advisory on its last test a few months ago, it really showed after picking it up!
Still managed to pull a respectable speed all things considered.
(shaved off time on the tomtom too)
Still waiting on her buying her own bloody brake pads tho, the brakes ain't much better with it all out now either.
