Doesn't everyone know the weight of their ride??

Must be honest I did look up to confirm as I've always thought of it as closer to 260/270kg although she is lighter than my old ST1100 (somwhere around 330kg mark)

A 60 cc bike heavier than a 1100? Blimey


:bang::bang:

No , Andy thought the Bird only weighed 170kg when in reality its 230kg

The latest CBR600RRs are 197kg (the orignal; CBR600s were around the same weight)

I didn't 'think it' I 'believed it'. Get your facts straight
