How much dose your bike weigh?

91 zx2rC6 160.3 with 2/3rds petrol and full oil. Racing scales of course

'89 250A model was 173~ on the same scales

Apparently 168kg dry and it'll be the same as Sensei's wet..... so that's a 30kg difference with 18L fuel, 3.3L oil and 2.4L coolant. Disregarding the fact that oil is lighter than water, that's 23.7kgs.
Where's the extra 6.3kg come from? Tool kit will be some I'm guessing......
Sensei, did you remember to pull your lunch out from under the seat before weighing it???

Mine's listed as 118kg soggy (with oil), and the seat-of-the-pants-o'meter reckons it's not far off when it hits reserve...

There's a couple of VERY respectable middleaged ladies want a word with you. ! And it's not going to be pleasant !

Phoebe says she finds a red line of 7500 QUITE sufficient for any RESPECTABLE bike. Anything more is a floozie for sure. And Petal (who is presently hitching up her dowager skirts prepartory to dealing you a true Buffalo wallop

- you're in hot water now lad, and she's got plenty of it ) concurs, and notes that SHE sees no need for more than 6500. And will happily pull away from 1200 in top gear. Who needs gearboxes, anyway.

Not every bike needs to be a screaming banshee y'know.

About 200kg's for my '94 YZF750R, I think I'll chuck her on one of our weighstations at work if I remember next week, it's always fun riding though the factory...

I got a screaming banshee,I have no idea what it revs to,where max hp and max torque are - it has no tacho and I need none,if I'm working it hard I'd never be able to look at it anyway.I just flick up and down through the gears to go faster or slower - if cops could be around I'll look at the speedo and make sure it's on 100 or so,I'd be happy to ride without one of those too.Trip metre and clock are the most used displays on my dash,oil warning light is kinda handy too.

the service manual states my trusty Geepixer weighs 138kg dry.

'spose with gas, coolant & oil weight'll be around 170?

How much does your bike...Wei_h Winja..

With you on it of course...

Come and help me compression test my bike asshole!!!!!

Crazy Steve.

The Hippo weighs in at 297kg dry

The good thing about it though its very stable, goes, stops and handles surprisingly well.

Cars, should they pull out in front of you, know they have been hit, the guy in the Civic will confirm that
