Its rated low because the engine has no torque.

I have always wondered why it was so low as well. I have exceeded the limit a number of times as I am 240Lbs any one over 160 kills it!

I used to own an '03 GSX-R 1000 that would hold more weight. I believe it was 440 lbs.

You're not supposed to drive the S2000 around with a dude in the passenger seat. A 200lbs man + one Female 130lbs-ish + 50lbs of luggage, for that overnight weekend, and you're still under 400.

You think its low in an S2000? Look at the load capacities for some trucks - still 400lb!
