What do they really weigh?

There is no front to rear bias. You add the two weights up and you get the weight of the bike.

FWIW, I've weighed my 1989 Transalp, ABS DL650, and R90/6.

I got 450lb on the TA, which is damn close to the listed 448 in this thread.

I got 510 lbs for my DL650, but I've got the ABS version, and have a skid plate, crashbar and luggage rack on my bike. Plus I've got at least 3-5 lb of tools under the seat.

It's not a problem leveling the bike. A 2x4 on it's side in almost exactly the same height as my bathroom scale. And yes moving around on the scale will cause the weight to bounce, but if you hold still, it's right.

Thanks for the heads up. No doubt my technique was probably a bit off.
I'll try this next time I can sneak the scale out to the garage! I imagine with a few attempts of placement and leveling I can probably get this to work,
I'll give it a try.

Just remember to clean the tire tracks off before putting it back in the bathroom.

Besides the problem that 5050 points out of the scale changing height with weight on it, there's the quality of the scales. I have never seen a bathroom scale, digital or analog, that I can't get to show varying weights depending on how I stand. Furthermore, my weight varies as much as 15 pounds from one bathroom scale to another.

As in any measurements, the devil is in the details. Just because you can't perform the experiment, doesn't mean that it can't be done.

My bathroom scales (Healthometer Digital Lithium Scale HDL114) give me the same reading (pounds or kilos) to a tenth of pound, no matter how many times I stand on it or how I stand on it (within reason). Whenever I go to my doctor for a physical (twice a year), I weigh myself on my scales before I leave and she weighs me on her's, which she claims are calibrated. The weights never vary by more than a pound. I weigh about 200lbs , so I know that my scales accuracy is in the neighborhood of about 1%, which happens to be the claimed accuracy for these scales. The scales are exactly 1.5" high, which just happens to be the thickness of a 2x4. So I run the bike up on the scales on one wheel and a 2x4 on the other and measure each wheel. The sum of the two readings will equal the weight of the bike to within 1%.

BTW, three cheers for montesa_vr for tabulating and posting his research on motorcycle weights. I am making copies of this, probably the best information I've seen in one place.

Sounds like you have a working process -- your numbers are right in the ball park. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the scale recommendation. Maybe if I had a scale like that I'd go back to weighing myself. Then again, maybe not. It's been about three decades since I saw the sunny side of 200 pounds.

Great job compiling the list!

Ummm, why is a 2" x 4" piece of wood only 1.5" thick???

Nominal size of a 2 x 4 is 1.5" x 3.5". Something to do with rough cut and finished.

Welcome to america.

[warewolf]

Well that explains why it doesn't quite look like 50x100mm... and I thought it was just me not having a "builders' eye" for such things.

[montesa_vr]

1) All weights are wet, ready to ride, with a full gas tank
2) All weights are from a national motorcycle magazine road test for which they actually weighed the motorcycle -- no manufactuer's numbers here.

I realize it is perverse publish weight with a full gas tank, therefore penalizing the manufacturers for providing additional gas capacity to a stock motorcycle. As adventure riders, that's one of the things we are always screaming about. Unfortunately, weight with a full tank is the only number I can find that is comparable. Wet weight with an empty gas tank would be the most fair comparison, but it is hard to find.

Motorcycle Consumer News is a helpful resource to have all those weights listed together, but the MCN numbers are consistently lighter than the weights from other sources, and I suspect they are using the half tank of fuel method for determining wet weight.

One of the frustrating things about this project is the reminder that the magazines don't take dual sports very seriously. For example, the KLX250S is one of the more significant additions to the dual sport world in the last few years, yet Cycle World treated it with a one page glossover and no spec sheet at all. The TE610 has been featured in several articles, including comparisons of sorts (Anywhere, Anytime, May 2006 Cycle World, 310 lbs dry) but never with an all up weight. I'm hoping that will change as the new models hit the floor this spring. But it's not like the good old days when Art Friedman was editor of Motorcyclist and dual sports were part of every third issue.

Since dual sports typically hold between 2 and 2.5 gallons, I'll note those that are carrying 3 gallons or more, and readers can do the math if they want to see where a bike might rank with less gasoline. (6 lbs/gallon)
