Dry humour is all the rage round here, it gets plenty of bites! My apologies for putting out your fire

Around 150ish kilo's, and sure?

**ducatilover** · 8th April 2009, 21:09

Yeah I'd say around 145-150kg dry weight. Can look it up though, for extra brownie points

i think with the tank full etc it'll sit around 170 or so. As for lifting it back, i havn't been able to lift my bike by myself just yet. I found out that there are pivot points on the bike that even out the weight wen u'r trying to lift it...or to something of that effect. Fortunatly i havn't dropped my bike since getting that advice so not sure if i can lift it, full stop.
P.S. u can add me as a friend if u want...where did u get ur leathers? i'm out leather searching atm!

Prolly need to add another 10kg to that as dry weight doesn't include suspension oil, engine oil or coolant either.

Also note that the tank only holds 15L of the go-go juice, i found this out after emptying my tank right outside a petrol station fortunately! The poor gurl died and i had to push her to the pump!
