Weight
« 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



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.

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.
