Motorcycle Weights - And Where You Use Them

Recommended Posts

With Summer the mind turns to planning vs riding so much; at least that is my mode. With that in mind, I thought to look at motorcycle weights and how they impact where I might use all these motos.  These weights are from Total Motorcycle.com  which are with no fuel. 

Super Adventure R   1290           470 pounds

Super Adventure R  1090            456

Adventure                 790R            416

Enduro                       690R            322

EXC                            500               240

Honda  CBX              500               402

 

I don't plan on giving up on the 450 platform but wonder if a second light road bike would be entertaining for exploring remote highway stuff.  There is always the problem of getting to the remote start point. My freeway days are finished, never to be repeated.

I bet you could get that 790r in the sub 400 range pretty easy. I sure do like it and hope that it pans out to be the kinda bike it's meant to be.

I own a light road bike.  It's an MV Agusta, and it weighs 370 dry and makes about 140 hp.  I love going on the back roads and two lane highways around the county.
