I love real analysis, as opposed to opinion. Thanks for posting.

I didn't see that the new bike's lighter weight includes a Li battery and slipon. Where did you see that? Not disagreeing, just wondering.

Yours is really 347lbs? I haven't weighed mine, but the "back out math" I did -- starting with the claimed wet weight, then subtracting the parts I took off, or increasing for things I put on -- only came out to ~368 lbs. But I didn't actually weigh everything and made a lot of assumptions.

441 wet weight.

• Passenger pegs: -2.0
• LW battery: -6.5
• Ignition key: -.5
• Gas cap lock: -.5
• Full exhaust: -20.0
• Headlight: -4
• Tail light: -2
• Tail fender: -1.8
• Misc. plastic ........: -2.0
• Evap delete: -1.5
• Lever guards: +1.5
• Sidestand: -1.0
• Lap timer: +.5
• Horn: -.5
• SAI delete:-1.5
• Clip ons / bar ends delete: -1.0
• Bodywork swap: -4.0
• LW Subframe: -5
• Rear sets: -.4
• Fan: -3
• Radiator: +1
• Race harness: -1.0
• Fuel (to account for wet weight): -18.0

Total: -73.2
Estimated: 367.5 lbs

That's a great list and my number is based off a similar paper calculation, haven't weighted it yet. I have the Spark exhaust which only saves 16lbs. Which subframe did you use that saved 5? I thought DB Holders mentioned only 3. Also, a full tank is 27lbs of gas if you subtract from the quoted 441lbs wet weight. Those three things account for most of the difference in our two numbers.

I thought about carbon wheels at one point but they only save 9 lbs for both wheels which is insane for $3k+.

A bunch of ti bolts might save 2-5 more, but that is a lot of work and expense.

Other than that, I don't know of much else to get our bikes to 2025 weight parity.

Thanks Dan for the pictures! The swingarm looks much better in these. I'm falling in love with the bike. Propably start annoying Bobbie soon...
