mine was 157kg with just over 2L fuel so i got rid of battery in favour of a lego one so should be about 155.5kg now-

- if i get a good dump before race that makes bike and rider combined about 225kg- (75kg more than a moto3)

Miles I've entered Mini Twins at Combe, even if I couldn't get a entry I would have gone along to help my mates. I have done this a lot over the years if it hasn't clashed with our racing
