All bikes weigh more than published figures and there is no way your WR is 108Kg

TB has a good point about a new WR250 though…………

It doesn’t with 5 litres of silicon spray on it :laugh:

My wr weighs f’all when i’m riding it and 200kg when i have to pick it up from the bottom side of a hill

Are we cockin on about weight again :silly:

I apparrently just bought one of the heavier (performance ag )bikes on the market and it handles like a dream and turns on a dime

its taller than my old weapon >………i was a bit concerned about that before i smashed some trails

So stop cockin on about weight and handling until you’ve riden every bike available on every trail there is (cause i have done this of course) :whistle:

But in all seriousness its handling not weight

its all a compromise between power (being a very broad word there are a few different aspects involved)and agility …………and being able to pick it up when you fall off

and just to keep this thread on topic i might even use some ct18 and silicon spray to keep my steed clean :laugh:

According to the source that I took the weights from (ADB 450 shootout) your bike is lighter than a Berg 450 once the ADR crud is removed.
And you even showing up in a bike cleaning thread is off topic Bob

Bobby 20 has wax in it I think, ie wash and wax, 18 is just wash.

The weight was …………………………………………..

121kg and only have approx 2 l of fuel in it

Not sure what happened but I tried your weighing method for the DRZ and the scales shit themselves into little bits. Probably shouldnt have used the girls glass top scales. Tried at the local transport depot but they reckon their scales dont go that high!
