Loose weight, they have gained weight since 01. 2001=437lb vs 2006=444lb wet
408lb vs 415lb dry

I was about to say you were wrong, but I went and looked it up. You're right on point.


At least with an 01 600 vs. an 09 600.

Im surprized the older ones were lighter, I had an 02 gix1 I really liked that bike, tons of power but it did have a tankish feel to it, but it was so stable in fast wheelies.

maybe it's just the 1000s. cause i've crashed my 07 600 like 25 times now and have had zero frame damage. and most of the time when i crash it's cause i jump off when it scrapes and the bike falls straight on it's side from 12. i've also hit a curb on it just recently.. haha

Cast pieces are cheaper to produce and easier than the old extruded frame pieces that the old gixxers had, but the down side is the cast piece are not as strong as the extruded ones

For sure my 02 was so stable at speed, could walk all over that bike and it would go straight, felt so safe
