Well, it took a couple years but I finally got a very nice Yager home today. Won't be able to do any riding until next week when I can get ins. and tag. I think the only rain this bike has ever seen was on the trailer today when I brought it home.
As for the weight of 308#, that is a "dry" weight. Somewhere on this board I found the wet weight listed as 326. "Dry" weight can be very deceptive. In the late '90's into the early 2000's the 600 sport bikes were one of the most competitive segment of MC sales. Each of the big four tried to gain a sales edge by claiming the lightest weight. It got so bad that the claimed dry weight was without fuel, oil, coolant, brake fluid, battery, and, because sometimes rubber is regarded a liquid, NO TIRES or any other rubber parts. Does anyone really care what a bike in that condition weights? It got to where the difference between dry and wet weight could be as much as 65 to 70 pounds. During that mentioned era I worked for a race organization that used the manufactures claimed weight to determine how much a particular race bike had to weigh. It really got to be a headache. We finally just set a minimum weight for all 600 Super Sport bikes.
