The 12's and '13's are heavy. My '12 probably weighs about 260-270 ready to ride*.
However, it is a real war horse and keeps going pretty much no matter what. Over 380 hrs on it and only one top end and a couple suspension refreshes. (not counting a broken PFP a while back........)
I do the least amount of maintenance on this bike of any that I've ever owned.
* IMO 'ready to ride' is skid plate, rad guards/braces, proper full-wrap hand guards, full tank of fuel (stock tank) Trans full of oil, suspension ready to go, etc.
KTM advertised weights are dry weights (no oils, fuel, bearing grease etc.) and are to be ignored and they are only fantasy.
A modern KTM/Husky 250 2t 'ready to ride' is going to tip the scales at 235- 245 or so. Not as light as many think they are.
