Beemer owners do like to quote dry weights for Beemers against wet weights of other bikes

Do BMW still remove the batteries (and the tyres? :dry: ) to quote the 'dry' weight?

Wouldn't surprise me....
Some time back, I saw some pics on ADV Rider that someone had posted of a GS and a GSA on a weighbridge. The weights were a quite a fair bit over what they should have been.
I'll have to see if I can find the thread.

That is one heavy barstevard with high center of gravity , nothing can touch this one . :pinch:

Try picking a 'Steamer' up! :blink: But I have no complaints otherwise(apart from the seat). Still think it's one of the best looking 'adventure' style bikes ever made,with definitely one of the best engines ever put in a motorcycle

its not the fight in the dog its the dog in the fight


if we could all handle a super 10 like this guy the weight wouldnt bother any of us ..rode it over sarn helen like he was going down the shops

I have seen Nick literally peel both tyres off a GSA off road....meant I beat him on an XTR though

I was talking to push around the garage, not at 100mph................completely different

It's a lardy lump with the engine turned off
