I've heard and xc 250 weighs 232 ready to ride no fuel. So they have made improvement. And in person the 18s look good! I'm old and not as strong as I used to be so I choose the lightest bike available...husqvarna..my question is if you pull the battery and electric start what does the bike lose and are there any other reasonable priced ways to get weight down to say 216-221 pounds?

You?re right the GG will be the heaviest but the Husky won?t be the lightest. And on top of that, the Husky will be MUCH heavier than advertised weight.

The new husky's weigh in at 152 as well with a full tank of gas and basic guards. There is a guy on Youtube who got a bunch of different KTM and Husky bikes and weighed them all on a proper scale. The 2T bikes from the Orange/White boys weigh almost EXACTLY what the new GG weighs in at. Some companies just lie better than others. Even the Beta X-Trainer weighs nothing even close to what they claim. Its FAR heavier.
