New Bike Weight ?

[shawbagga]

Here ya go. Stock TE250i weighing in at 251. I weighed my 2018 XC300 after I put the mousses in and filled it with fuel and it weighed 252.

No the truth is as much as I like gas gas..the weight is a deal breaker..ive had alot of gassers...a pinkish 97 or 98 being my first and a 2012 being my last and probably one of the worst new bikes I ever bought with most of the shortcomings related to bike weight...from what I u understand there engine is very heavy because of old school casting techniques. I've heard and xc 250 weighs 232 ready to ride no fuel. So they have made improvement. And in person the 18s look good! I'm old and not as strong as I used to be so I choose the lightest bike available...husqvarna..my question is if you pull the battery and electric start what does the bike lose and are there any other reasonable priced ways to get weight down to say 216-221 pounds?

GG has HD tubes stock(?). FIM heavy tyres stock. Starter/wiring/battery would only weigh 2-3kg max. Remove sidestand. Chop the fenders to lighten it up Fletch & look old school FMX!
I'm guessing you could easily drop 5kg if it's that big a concern.

Anyone weighed the rangers or perhaps anyone had a chance to weigh the new 200?

They are drinking too much orange kool aid to believe it.
It is simply amazing that manufacturers keep making lighter bikes ever year without fail. Even adding all the weight of the FI components. It is almost as if they are full of shit! ��

Ranger came in 1-2kg lighter than EC from memory so around the 103kg mark.
