I just read the MXA test of the new hyped up KTM FE, and I don't think they actually weighed it. they said its 10 pounds lighter than the standard bike, but that is what KTM is saying in their own brochure. it wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer lied about weight. did KTM not allow them to put it on a scale? I wonder what it really weighs, with a full tank of gas. someone needs to weigh all the bikes on the same day on the same scale.
The gas tank holds 1.9 gal so using an average of 6.2 lbs/gal a full tank would be 11.78 pounds, which added to the 226 would end up with 237.78.

This is according to my taint scale and not official.
What is impressive about the KTM 450 weight is that is weighs that much with electric start!

I've seen a '15 Factory Edition go to the scales at an SX & come back to the rig...
To replace TI with Steel.
I'm jus' knowin'...
Even being old, fat and slow I still like me some lightweight hardware.
No fingers were lost!
I'd never stop tinkering if I had access to that sorta gear!
