The 2014 GG bikes are lighter though.

A good friend of mine just got a new Beta a few weeks ago. It's a really nice bike and the motor is frigging beautiful. Very light feeling compared to my GasGas, both riding it and picking it up. But it has this big hole in the side of it that digs into your leg above your boot. No thanks. Just Ordered a new Sherco 250 2t. Test rode the 300 4t. Also a very light bike. That was a very nice riding 4t enduro bike. Felt like you were riding a 125 with way more power.

I will likely never know if I should have waited on the Sherco 2t. Fortunately I love my Beta. After 2011 GG just went the wrong way, for me anyway. Still the best forum out here, but the Beta and Sherco site are picking up steam.

Beta is 237 empty tank, so add 15 lbs for fuel, and you get 252 with a equally full tank. So that is approx 7-8 lbs difference both full of fuel. Am I off base here?

The GasGas is blessed with a 2.5 gallon tank, so it carries and extra 3.5 pounds of fuel when full. However, the quoted fully fueled weight was 274 pounds. The difference is 274-252 using conservative numbers ... 22 pounds. One way or the other, if you love your bike - be it blue, white, red, yellow or green - just ride it I was simply trying to answer objectively the question of how much a Beta weighs relative to a GasGas. Some people have a hard time believing it - that's not something I'm all that concerned with.

I wonder how you got 231 and they got 237? What is your theory?
