Paul, I can't verify the above to the pound, but I see no reason to doubt them.

 

yammie claims around 350 something dry on the 05

 

I have heard 385 dry on the 00-01, I think I may trust sportrider more since they probably use a scale and have no reason to make up numbers

 

i weighed my bike on a scale at work (shipping company) and it came out to 428 lbs. I think I had about half a tank of gas, but can't remember that for sure. p.s. 04

 

04-05 is the heavist and has the worst torque curve.

the weights that the factories give ( that you see in most mags and on factory websites and such ) are design weights. the companies know that the bikes aren't going to turn out that light in production. gixxers, r1's, and kawi's are all about the same weight within 5-10 lbs, which really doesn't make much difference. the hondas are about 25-30lbs more for some reason. if you go on a diet you wont have any problems and it becomes a moot point!

:corn

 

actually ALL the manufac claim the bikes are wayyyyy lighter than what they actually end up weighing

 

didnt i just say that?

 

Well, I could care less where the R1 comes in compared to other bikes -- I was mostly curious within the R1 family. I was looking at buying a 2002 and was happy to see it was measurably lighter than even the newest model. Surprising though....

I AM curious to see where the 2006 CBR1000 comes in!

 

02 weighs 10 lbs less but 04 makes 20 more horses? get an 04-06

 

ivan at ivans performance weighed the bikes and his 98 or 99 (can't remember which) was a good bit less than the newer bikes. yup it's the heaviest yet...

 

Don't forget, the manufacturers "Dry" weight is with no gas, oil, or coolant. Who knows, they might even subtract fork oil to get those low numbers. Sportrider's "Dry" weight is with no Gas (more realistic).

That's correct, no fork oil, no battery....

 

I weighed my 04 on a scale at work and it was 446# with half a tank of gas.

 

02 yeah

 

My 04 is the heaviest? Damn......I guess I'd better ditch the tool kit under the seat.....

 

and the 06 is heavier then 04

Are you really concerned about 2lbs?

 

In my opinion, the it doesn't matter what the weight of the new R1 is.

It doesn't drag engine cases at extreme lean like the old model did, it makes a hell of a lot more hp.

Exactly! It also feels lighter than any other R1. As for the weight gain, it has some things that WE( not everbody, but many of us asked for) Steering damper, underseat exhaust including two silencers, and ram air. All of that and making it skinny as hell, seemed to have added some weight. In comparision to my old 2000 R1, it is well worth it. The new bikes are faster, sexier, and more capable than ever before. I could try not eating so many double cheeseburgers and make up the weight difference easily. I wont be doing that anytime soon though.

 

your body weight fluctuates more than 2 lbs through the course of a day! IMO the new ones are stil the best to date. then again i might be just slightly biased....
