How much dose your bike weigh?

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

Hey,their KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRYS,right

[zadok]

GTR: About 270kg dry. Quite heavy, but managable.

My bike is suppodsedly 214 Kg dry not that I intend picking it up

[Holy Roller]

340kgs will need a couple of helping hands to right her if she ever got dropped

Mine is supposedly 251 wet.

Mines supposed to be 209 dry and 235 fully wet. Haven't managed to weigh it yet.
As for HP figures, all the Jap manufacturers quote at the crank, which like quoting dry figures with nary a drop of ANY form of liquid in the bike (including fork oi and battery fluid) is a tad dishonest. But once you take into account mechanical losses in the GB and chain etc I think most of the quoted figures are pretty honest. Car manufacurers do the same thing- look at Ford and Holden. I saw a dyno chart for the "220 KW" VT SS- it managed 165KW at the wheels...

Mine is 156kg dry and I think I read somewhere 178 wet? So its pretty damn heavy for a 250. Plus only 36 horsies to play around with. But as I have been riding for going on 6 days now thats far more than enough... and being able to beat the shit out of my mate's boy racer Silvia at the lights is frickin awesome!

According to specs 245kg dry,no idea what it is wet.

[loosebruce]

198-KG's wet

Yep mine would be the same well until my fat arse sits on it anyways. So fat infatc the engine couldn't haul my fat arse and dropped its guts.

[Mooch]

Mine would be around 300-315 kgs with rider but no lunch and a full tank. Dry weights are for showrooms.

Mine weighs too much but apparently it is 233kg dry, wet I have no idea but add 24 litres pterol, 4 litres of oil, and radiator full of water and I guess she would top 250kg easily.

[Motu]

The point of my post is that both my bikes were almost exactly the same wet weight as they are listed in the spec sheets,so they can't have been weighed dry.Maybe it's only a dirt bike thing as weight is more important so they keep a bit more honest - I was kinda wondering how it stacked up for everyone else.Seems no one cares,but are quite happy to bag the manufacturers for dishonesty anyway.

Let's see "Roxanne's" phat arse is supposed to be 230Kg dry and there is a packrack add to her, so lets say 232Kg. Then we add 24L of petrol (which is lighter than water, water being 1Kg for every L), so make that 255Kg + nearly 4L of oil (same a petrol), so thats 259ish, and around 3L of Coolant, making ruffly 262Kg to just take her for a ride. For those who know me and have seen the "Kitchen Sinks" (backpack and tank bag jamed full) that I often put on "Roxanne", She could be near 300Kg Touring, and that is not counting Pillion or Rider.
