In light of some comments on another thread I weighed a couple of my bikes today,seeing as I was working on them.The DT230 has a listed weight of 123kg,mine,with say 1/4 tank of gas,full of oil weighed in at 124kg,that's pretty damn close....stripped of lights it's 120kg.The TLR200 weighed at 87kg,the bike is stripped with no extras....the stock bike with lights and speedo is listed at 88kg...again,pretty damn close.
So how close are your bikes to the spec sheet?

Scales aren't big enough to weigh Der Uberfarter!
One day I'll run it over a truck weigh bridge-only needs to be accurate to the nearest ton!

I have real trouble holding mine in strong winds.... I don't have a bike so I'll leave that up to your imagination!

According to my manual.... Virago 250cc cruiser.
"Basic weight: with oil and full fuel tank - 147kg (324 lbs)"

mine is meant to be 161 dry, but we know how optimistic manufacturers can be..
I reckon with a full tank, and me on it, could be close to 280ish..?

What I'm wondering is how do you think your bike compares to the listed weight.The asumption is that the bikes are weighed completely dry,no fuel or fluids at all,bending the rules to get the listed weight as low as possible.My two bikes,one a Yamaha the other Honda,with a 10 yr age difference both weigh near as dammit to the listed weight....I always thought listed specs were bullshit,so it comes as a surprise to me to find it's true.Bugger...like,maybe the HP is correct too!

what i wanna know is were do you find scales to weigh the thing?

Forum whore

Kiwi back at home!

and your avatar shows you dont like bikes much either as no self respecting bike engine redlines that low, hell even D's tractor prob pulls more than that
Forum whore
but ive had a tacho on mine it redlines at like 7 no bs even though factory claims 7500 lol
it's so very depressing.....need a rev boosting cdi but not at the 249 they want for the kitaco ones....well not right now anyways
