Re: Super sport test.
 
I done a search to see if the wet weights were wrong, interesting find here.

The SV wet weighs less than a 06 Gixxer! Pff mad! 199KG fully wet for the Gixxer 600 K6. 194KG for the SV. Od though the 05 Gixxer weighs 5KG less... Must the the Zorst right?

This does indeed show then that its where the weight is put not so much how much it carries! madness!

That's interesting, not sure what they are doing but the dry weights are 186kg for the GSX-R and 181kg for the SV...even if they are using your dry weight method, the battery, etc, can't weigh that much more in the GSX-R? (it's enough to put it above the SV by 5kg, not only that but it should have been lighter than the SV with its 'drier-than-dry' weight)

I dont know... I mean you just cant trust the damn factories. Most people id imagine would be less than impressed if their little sporty monster was actually fatter than a SV when on the scales... It isnt of course fat at all, even if it is on the slightly heavier side it hides it well and so who cares in real world? All the numbers they spit out are to grab attention in the end.

Bah.

I think from these findings we can come to the conclusion that riding a bike is the real test of wether its a good one not not the factory spec sheet. :rolleyes:

Why? Their little sporty monster has a more complex engine and puts out 50% more power than an SV. A couple of extra kilos here and there should come as neither a surprise nor disappointment.
