How much dose your bike weigh?

[Mooch]

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.

I see your point, my bike is understated by roughly 8 % , 192 kg verse 215kg or 13 kg heaver.
I hired a K3 1000 last year which was 168 dry or 200 kg wet, that’s 32 kg heavier.

I was expecting the gxr1000 to feel a lot lighter than the 748R , but it didn't feel that much different.

Add 100kg for rider (I’m a heavy b@rstard) and gear that’s 300kg or 315kg between the two. A whole 5 % , no wonder it was hard to tell the difference between the two.

I think road going sport bike manufactures should also quote wet weights. I mean, a 32kg difference on a 168kg sports bike is just big fibs.

Depends:
If it is flying down a fave set of twisties, it is lighter than air.
or
On it's side in knee deep mud, then way too much!

But adrenalin tends to make it feel a 3rd lighter.

Yeah but,if a chicks watching you'll pick it up and throw it onto it's other side,pick it again and fall off.Girls and bikes don't mix I reckon....both make me do stupid things.....

Never weighed the GS1100GK unladen but several times heading to or from the Brass I've wheeled it onto the ferry weighbridge - the digital readout is in an office but can be seen through the window. With a tank of gas, pillion (my daughter and shes pretty small), two peoples worth of gear and assorted bits the scales said just on 350kgs. Add me at another 85Kg and I start to see why rear tyres don't last long and cornering becomes "interesting". Interestingly acceleration and top speed didn't seem to suffer that much.

Mine is 156kg dry and I think I read somewhere 178 wet? So its pretty damn heavy for a 250.

FINALLY - I've noticed someone with the same bike! And yip its HUGE for a 250 and thats what I like about her! Next to a 400 theres not alot in size diff.

Although she's a little sensitive about her weight... she will probably be similar to BBWolf's @ ~156.
Heffa - Have had to lift her twice now when she has decided to have a lay down.... and managed... JUST!

Anything heavier, if it lay down it would stay down!

you take off quite shall we say spirited the other day whilst riding with another Rune headin towards the shore from the lights by the Albany Stadium?!

Looked like you got a bit thrown around as the thing spun up then hooked up

The manufacturers are pretty accurate with quoted Dry weights and HP figures. With legislation the way it is, they have to be.

My GSX1400 weighs 228kgs dry and I reckon by the time the tank is full and she;s full of lubricant, I'm hitting a quarter tonne. Mind you, it feels pretty good once you are rolling and it's only at over 200kmh through sweeper, you begin to notice the bulk. Starts to take some work to change direction then.
