When we lye them all down and you pick them up(regardless of what the scale says) if you had a blind fold on you'd be really hard pressed to guess which bike was which. We are not talking about lifting the weight over your head but lifting it on a center point(the wheels) off the ground. Coming from guys that hate gassers and myself(that loves them) they comment the same that it is very hard to feel that few extra pounds and I'm not a brand loyal guy just trying to be a realist

Quoted for truth.
The rest of the back and forward is getting a bit old. We know we ride the porky 2 stroke brand. We know the 2014 models offer some weight savings, that will make some happy... it will make most happy. In comparison to other brands who knows where it will end up. Until you get multiple bikes weighed on the same calibrated set of scales its all a bit like comparing peckers. I think its about time everyone got out and went for a ride! (is the snow coming?)
