From a reliable source...

There are no exact weights here (and I'll see if I can get them at some point), but if you were going to rank the 450s in order, from heaviest to lightest, it'd roughly be Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki in the top three (heaviest) spots. KTM is second (and closing), but Honda has the lightest bikes, and they're still pounds above the limit. Oh, and despite being a 100cc less, the KTM 350 still has the same weight requirement as a 450.

Chances that any of the bikes would be too light, despite part of the silencer missing? Really low.

About the only bikes that make it right on the edge of the weight rules would be Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Supercross bikes...and no one else is that close.

I don`t think that RV`s silencer actually fell off. It was broken of the pipe , but it was still hanging on a side of the bike. Even RV admitted in "How was your weekend" that it was loud.

I hear the midpipe was also bent up pretty badly. Maybe that restriction kept it quieter than it would have been otherwise.

The only time I look in he mirror is when hey are mounted on the ceiling!

My point however was that you just gave a certain poster a little of what he gives and be can't seem to make the connection. I like Outsider posts they are always pointed and entertaining.

SORRY to hear that I noticed your vacancy and just attributed it to summer. That sucks.

Zach is a good guy in my opinion and so are you. I personally believe opposite views are healthy.

You know like banging a crazy bitch. It can be fun!

I Don't have any issues with you either. You have been around long enough I know that you aren't some newbie dumb ass. Usually when I read your posts I detect a hint of satire. Your humor while dry and often cleverly veiled is not lost on me.

im suprised that the 350 isnt the lightest bike in the class. considering thats supposed to be its theoretical advantage.

imo, i believe that the 350 should be allowed a lower minimum weight, hell, they should lower the whole classes minimum weight.


how light do any of y'all think they could legally get the 350 if light weight was their main priority? or all they already as light as they could make em?
