Don't trust MCN!
There's no way a D675 dry weight is 200kg's, that WILL be the wet weight.

Erm... sigh.
MCN's numbers was with the battery in and the oil in, a real world Dry weight... if you run with no brake oil or engine oil or a battery then fair enough you might want to know how much weight you save.
The only difference was the dry was with and empty tank and the wet was with a full tank. 10KG for 17Litre of fuel is about right...
Feel free to believe what you will I dont really care, I just try to show people what the factories claim and what the truth is. Why on earth MCN would lie or how they could get it wrong is beyond me. Like I said it wasnt the MCN people actually doing the test they just wrote about it.
