mine is right in the middle of the list, more than happy with that considering it's got the std tank and airbox and all.

maybe Roxy brimmed it with fuel

What was the diff between the heaviest and the lightest?

1l of fuel is 1kg

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
