Anyone know what a standard SV really weighs?
 
Just curious... The claimed dry weight is 169 kilos for an S, which is probably a bit of a fib really...

186Kg with a full tank :D.. I duno they seem light compared to some bikes i've sat on. But i put that down to the central weight of the v-twin.

Thats seems about right.

Mines 160kgs in Race trim and very little left to lighten it so with standard can and lights i'd say thats right

When working out the wet weight, rember petrol less than water its about 0.8/kg, where water is a 1kg/litres.

i believe battery asid, antifreeze, petrol & oil don't count as dry weight?
(manufactures lie a bit)
please correct me if i'm wrong?

And also certain parts of steel are apparently considered wet also :D
