Title: Weight
Post by: F14CRAZY on May 27, 2015, 10:17:41 PM

I've been curious for a while, so when the boss wasn't looking, I put my bike on the freight scale at work

(https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/11350611_10153355411727908_488519847329374957_n.jpg?oh=c515caedda99237406edbb38fc3b2738&oe=55F08E80)

Mostly full of gas, side and top cases (with my backpack w/ laptop, rain suit, and cover), it's at 608 lbs.

The scale was a little short but I had the bike on its center stand and the front wheel was on the scale by using a 1x4 under it and under the center stand, which from what I figure does not alter the total weight.

the rs eleven hundert motobrick fully loaded rolls over the truck scales at 680 pounds...

As far as I know, the BMW weight specs are actually remarkably accurate. (Well, they're German, guess it's not that remarkable.). Wet Weight spec on a K75 Standard is 520, which includes a partial tank of gas. When you add the fairing, bags, brackets, and the rest of the tank, that easily gets you the rest of the way.
