I'm not spending anymore on weight saving on the bike, but looking at spending that money on track time and tyres. Loosing weight myself would be cheaper, saves money on the weekly shop!!

Double bonus

weight savings not cost me a penny so far .. apart from maybe going to the underseat pipe .. but the that was just an added bonus in my mind

so that means you've got 6 kg's to lose for free .. Have you taken the lights off? :lol: :lol:

Underseat pipe costs weight bless its ti, as you need more pipe work I reckon than a simple out the bottom can

Weight becomes an issue if 2 fairly equal riders and one has considerable weight difference. And it must be true that's all they talk about on Eurosport with moto 2!! :lol:

Na the pipe lengths are designed to be the same so you just lose the weight of a can

Aparently if you tuck your elbows in it's worth 9 seconds a lap or something like that:lol:
