    Bucket weight...

    Okay,.. time for the dumb Bucket thread.

    I weighed Lady Penelope tonight. She's 88kg's full of fluids and a few litres of fuel.

    How heavy is your bucket?

    Heavy!

    The RS50 frame is seriously heavy! Ask Andrew or Trudes needed 3 people to lift it a decent height.

    Oh dear Nudez ... there's two things about a lady you don't talk about ... 1> Her age and 2. Her weight.

    mummble tut ... what is the youf of today coming to ...

    Hmmmm ... must go and weigh Parker and Brains ... All irrelevant anyway. It's not the weight of the bike I have to worry about, I have to stop eating pies!

    CG125 has about 55kg on the back wheel and 25 on the front if I remember correctly, doesn't sound very balenced does it? Might be more sounds a bit light. Can weigh it tommorow. It's too cold and dark to go out to the garage now.

    My super special honda has about 45 on each I think.

    Have no idea how heavy Pammy is, she seems quite light, I can lift her rear end, but she is a little top heavy....

    Sambo was weighed a few months ago at 80kg wet
    My TZR145 was 85kg wet on the same scales

    That number rings a bell for the H. My 50 barely grazes 60kg with an empty tank so maybe 65 with as much gas as I'd ever run. People think my 50 is super powerful, it's not, but it is light. Bigger engines have heavier cranks etc, never get a 100 that light using road based engines. Was 0.5kg lighter when it was in the RG50 frame, the RS is heavier. Problem is I'm almost 80kg these days.

    Think my road legal RG50 was 83kg with a full tank.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    And here I was thinking I did a good job lightening the whole machine, considering standard they're around 115kg's.
    I gotta lose some weight too by the looks

    What are you on about? 4 strokes are heavy so it's not too bad. That's why you get 150cc to play with. Careful not to lose too much weight where the vibes could cause issues.

    True, but lighter weight equals less horsepower necessary.
    I don't think 88 kg is featherweight to the point of vibration issues.
