Like (almost)everyone else, I'm interested in the weight of my bikes, but was always too lazy to check it out for myself. So recently, I took my wife's new hi tech bathroom scales out to weigh the two bikes I have on hand.
The first was my clean (no dirt or mud) '01 GG XC 200 with a full tank of fuel, ready to ride. Only extra's are bark busters & rear disc guard. Combined weight was 253 lbs. (It still has stock oem headlight & tail/brakelight combo)
Next was my '17 Husky FE 250 4 T, street legal, full of fuel, only extra's are Cycra wrap around hand guards. It weighed 264 lbs.
Both bikes hold about 2.5 gal of fuel.
Honestly, I thought both bikes would come in under 250 lbs. They both feel light out on the trail.
I'll bet a lot of guys would be surprised by the actual, ready to ride weight of their bikes, regardless of brand.
