Real weight of the kx500??
reknelb:
As you can tell from my other thread I'm in the process of looking at some 500's. A friend of mine has been trying to convince me to get an rmx250 thats for sale locally. OUt of curiousity, I checked the dry weight on the rmx and it was around 239lb depending on year. The kx5 lists at 220lbs. Anybody ever get thiers on a scale? Now out of fairness to the suzuki, I belive that dry weight is all fluids except gas.
Paul:
I've weighed mine, 232lbs
reknelb:
Is that with fuel?
KXcam22:
Mines about 230+lbs ready to go. Since my personal immenseness weighs 200lbs I don't worry too much about my bike's weight (within reason of course). I've seen some pretty large bodied people spend $1000 or more on a 450 pipe to save 3 lbs. Cam.

Aye, have noticed some people spending a fortune on Titanium bits and bobs but if they spent less on pies and Mars bars the all up weight of them and the bike would be far less.
Not that I am as slim as a racing snake either :(
