Dry weight is measured by the same format as all Japanese, etc. Which is why nothing ever comes close to dry weight. It means no fluids (no fork oil, shock oil even), no battery, etc., etc., so is less than actual motorcycle weight. I have no idea where this idiotic concept originated, but everyone uses it and you have to follow suit for the folks who read "spec" sheets. The actual weight of the 1125R minus fuel, but with everything else, was just under 420 lbs on the last bike we measured. That's a little less than the 1098 we have and measured on the same scale for perspective. | ||

Didnt' that used to be the shipping weight prior to crating? It is silly. Moto Journalists who even report that stat are silly. Fuel Tank Empty weight is the appropriate stat to report. 420LB + (5.6gal * 6.2LB/gal) = 455 LB | ||

Isn't "Dry Weight" the sum of the individual weights of all the individual parts, kind of a "theoretical" weight, not actually using a scale? | ||
