I don't think it weighs much over 50-60lbs.

It weighs 50 lbs, give or take 1-2 lbs.
I just weighed myself with it, so bar the accuracy of a bathroom scale, it's 50lbs.

Damn,it felt heavier when I was trying to hang it from the ceiling by myself! guess its time to hit the wheaties!
omfg are u serious?!.... i weighed in my car rim and 240 tire.. and they were at 21kg... 50lbs is ilke 23kg.....
i did some weight taking the other day... but i have the figures in kg only..
the entire shaft drive system together with the internal engine components & u-joint yoke came up to be ard 13kg
our exhaust system (header plus muffler) was at 15kg..
I managed to replace the shaft system with a chain drive adapter weighing in at about 1.5kg... have yet to add in the sprocket weights and the wheel axle + sprocket adaper weights.. but i'm speculating that the entire chain drive system will weight no more than 6kg when completed...
changed the exhaust into my homamade ss pipes.. with the carbon end can.. it would be at most 3.5 - 4 kg?
so this gives me an 18kg weight savings... but my single sided swingarm is a killer at 17 kg now.... hahaha.. minus away the 3-4 kg original swingarm.... i still exceeded by about 13kg.
throw in the wheel and my weight savings are gone jus like that... hahahha..
but i will get to save summore on the fenders i guess.. chopped off quite abit of the frame and made that aluminum subframe...What about that that rear subframe plate under the rear fender.... how much does it weigh? any one able to input? probably it would be even better if you could put down the entire rear fender together with the grab rail and signals.. haha
