Cycle World test August 1979 602lb with 1/2 tank of fuel. Trust me, anyone that claims less than 600lb is dreaming unless a gallon of oil and 2 gallons of fuel is 100+ pounds. I only believe tests, as claimed weights are always hogwash. Later test with bags and fairing 669lb. 602lb was the stock motorcycle as delivered.

As I'm working on my shafty, I swear as I'm pushing it around, it has extra gravity acting on it.

Sorry Guys, guess I was off by a bit. She was a beast, compared to my SR... but once rolling, was soooo smooth on the long runs. I do know that the Kerker took some weight off, but also had a full steel bolt-on rack that probably negated that...
