If you own an R3, what is your total vehicle weight?
I am looking to buy an R3 in the future, and was just wondering. Being a smaller, lighter bike that has modest power, rider weight likely does have an effect on performance. So what is your total vehicle weight, and what comments do you have concerning performance. Have you ridden with other R3 owners who weigh more or less, and how did that compare?
I'll start the discussion with this format:
bike: 368 lbs
rider: 184 lbs
TVW: 552 lbs
No comment on performance at this weight as I haven't actually ridden the bike yet, and with my level of experience I don't know if I could really tell the difference.
:redface: OK, I'm only 5'7" and 184 is really embarrassing for me. Perhaps I could reduce my TVW by 20-25 lbs by the time I save up enough money to buy an R3 without even doing any mods to the bike.
