What does the Falco really weigh? I know the mfr claimed dry weight is 418lb, but have any of you actually weighed this bad boy, wet?

You know, that's a great question. I've got the Rene high mount stainless, and now the airkit...and was wondering how much weight is saved over stock. I would imagine it's quite a bit. The stock airbox is quite a lump...and the stock cans reminded me of the old "hemi" mufflers that speed shops used to sell...HUGE!

As for me ... I filled the tank up with leaner gasoline and now my Falco weighs a full 75 POUNDS LIGHTER than it did before! Amazing!

According to Motorcyclist magazine, the Falco weighs 485 lbs when full of fluids.

Naaah... I let other people do the work and merely spout their results Life's a lot easier that way!

How's the bike coming? Ohlins still have my legs...
