I was going off wiki's specs, who knows if they are true

I've heard rumours of f4i's weighing 430 dry, but according to wiki says 370dry

What's funny is, I've heard people say f4i's are light bikes thats why they are good stunt bikes. And until I heard the specs, I always thought f4i's were light tell I heard they weigh more then the 929/954 and 900rr lol...

the bike is just to f@cking heavy

Not lead but steel! And your not alone, that is why I started making parts out of aluminum and Titanium...Its lighter and in most cases just as strong or even stronger...

Some things need to be made of steel, and others could really be made from aluminum...

how low the weight is to the ground would make a HUGE difference on a test like that

Re: my 06 636 is heavy like led

i ride both of them right now and the weight difference is pretty noticeable. I love my f4i but the kawi is better in everyway. Just sux cuz im better on the f4i... The kawi does deathspins and everything alot easier.

636's feel way lighter to me, but I think thats due to a closer seat to handlebar distance, giveing you better leverage on the bike.

4 gallons of gas weighs 32 pounds, simply the difference between being low and full on gas should make more of a difference then your cage and stuff

I ride a f4i, that weighs as much as a 900rr. And the cage I have on it, is probably nearly as heavy as your cage/12bar/subcage combined! lol

Yep.. Technically the 636's are not light bikes by any means.. They just feel like with all the power.
