All done with no fuel. 2011 Ec 250 E start EE hand guards,rad braces and skid plate. 258LB 2013 Beta 300RR Racing EE Hand guards, factory skid plate 229LB 2009 Husky WR165 EE Hand guards rad braces, factory skid plate and Steering damper and IMS tank 219LB Didn't bother to weight the Husky TE630. We will just call it heavy. |

I believe that, the 225 lb dry weight advertised for my 2011 300 estart is only if you take the optional helium package for the tires.

You have quite the stable! I'm jealous. I'd really like to throw a leg over a new Beta 2t and I'm also quite intrigued by those Husky tiddlers with Walt's BBK. Between those and the GasGas, how do you decide which to ride?

Were those 2x4s calibrated ? I hear that some are actually 1.5x3.5.
This will throw your measurement way off and likely make western European bikes show as disproportionately heavier. On a positive note, they will turn quicker and be more stable. |

I have been hearing the 2014 GasGas bikes will all come with the optional Helium Tire package.

I weighed the old sand cast clutch cover vs. GG current die cast version. There was 33% weight savings (12 oz. vs. 8 oz.) just in that small part. Anyone have a bare set of engine cases w/o bearings laying around they can weigh. I'd think you could extrapolate the weight savings to the Beta engine cases.
All Beta 2T RR's have electric start, but the engine was designed with this in mind so they gained some weight savings there. To be fair, the Beta should be compared to the new GG framed '12's or '13's.

The next time you think of it, how about weighing that sexy alloy subframe.
