mine was half way down the list, it's not far off, but it isn't that special, I've got a pair of stainless exhaust, std down pipes std air box full fairing, std tank small 3.2ah battery I have chopped a bit off the frame but very small gain to be made there i chucked about 1kg of wiring loom i have a decoded ecu so i only have a rev counter..... I could probably save another couple of kg if I was really worried but I suspect the best weight saving would be the 16st fat bloke on the seat...

in all honesty i doubt theirs that much difference in them,, someones got to be at the bottom of the list, it doesn't mean its 220kg!

Kev, whats the % of difference between the lightest and the heaviest?

[mat2hew]

I remember a few years ago we had a weigh in and someones class b bike weighed more than Sam Wests Monster road bike,,

The fuel can make a big difference. Think they are around 16 litres? Could easily be 14 kg inference between a brimmed tank and one with the bare minimum in.

IIRC it was a Class B Monster then running #34, it has also ran #6, #7 and now #999. I will see if I can find the old figures, doesn't help when your Laptops been replaced a couple of times since then

I think mine is round the 170 kgs. Quite a lot to loose - 916 tanks dont fit the SS?

mines about 10kg lighter, i haven't got any special bits, in contrast my monster from last year was 168kg and I'd done loads to that, 916 tank it had a 2 into 1 titanium exhaust no air box no filters I'd cut off or chucked away every bit I didn't need. too much really coz bits kept breaking

Mine was 2nd heaviest at 165kg if memory serves me right.
Skids?

I would agree with you Simon, but Mike Tesseyman says he's fitted one to his and Alan Ball was going to be fitting one to his. But I haven't seen any photos yet

Simon your bike is a bit lighter than you mention and Scott yours is a bit heavier than you mention

Mine for the record came in at 162kg

I think mine weighed in at over 172 at the last weigh in but I was trying harder to manage the fuel at pembrey. What was my total weight at pembrey Kev?
