REAL weight of 06 or 07 EC300

[Skidad]

Anyone weighed their 06 or 07 (or even the 08) without fuel to get an actual real world weight???

Here is what Gas Gas lists for weights.

06 300 103kg which = 227 lbs
07 300 99kg which = 218.2 lbs
08 300 98kg which = 216 lbs

The Austrailian Dirt Bike Magazine test review that I linked to from this site lists the 07 EC300 at 109.5kg WITHOUT fuel which = 241.4 lbs

We're talking a difference of anywhere from 14.4lbs to 23.2lbs here. That allot of difference AND weight.

I want to know the REAL weight of one of these things before I buy one. I'm not going to replace my 250lb KTM with a 241lb bike no matter how "light feeling" the thing is. Just not acceptable in my book. I'll buy the 227lb KTM with the e-start I'm sorry. I would REALLY hope the GG bike is under 230lbs real world weight without fuel. I don't believe for a second the 08 218lb claim but if it's true that's AWESOME. Even if it's measured without the light package.

In all fairness they also listed the e-start KTM at 107.1kg which = 236.1 lbs. which I know is wrong by almost 10 lbs. The KTM is a very light bike for real in the mid 220's. Their 200XC/W is under 210lbs also.

So what's the "real deal" here with the weight
