My molested FXR with gas in the tank came to 105kg a couple of weeks ago when we were pushing bikes across the scales. Can't remember what the others weighed in at but 110 and 120 seem familiar. a GL145 came in at 80.

A standard FXR150, like mine, weighs 120kg with about 1-2 litres of fuel (weighed at Mt Wellington go-kart scales). That is with battery, starter motor, std exhaust etc. It does have an XR400 carb, which is big and heavy, and dirt bike bars with bark busters which will add weight. I think I top the Mt Wellington scales tests for buckets according to the guys there on 14 Feb. Add my 80kg body and we have 200kg! At the moment I'm just enjoying the riding and I'm not concerned about weight. I do plan to go for a lighter, less restrictive, exhaust.
you not going to bad
so I wodn't worry
it's just us plonkers that need to show off

And with that; my RG50 before I RS'd it was 59.5kg on kart scales, ready to race but empty tank.
Hey I needed to go crazy as most of my competitors back then were 60mumble kg, and I'm, erm, not.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
thats got to be the lightest bucket I've heard of
my Gp may well be RS and RG'd soon
