The EVO? Supposedly 414 or so, wet. Title: Re: How much does my ducati really weigh? Post by: DucRS on June 11, 2013, 07:54:50 PM I use my Versahauler to carry my S4RS
or my 06 Multistrada quite frequently on 400+ mile trips. I would recommend using a hefty vehicle to tow with though. I tow it with a Chevy Tahoe with no problems. Title: Re: How much does my ducati really weigh? Post by: polivo on June 12, 2013, 01:06:18 PM i just found out that I can put more than about 300 pound on the versahaul beucase of my vehilce.

I honestly did not think the single scale method would be accurate. Lesson learned. Title: Re: How much does my ducati really weigh?

[laugh] Later > Curious to see if it worked, easy to do with pit bull stands I just slid the scale under the tire and let it down. I got 217.5 on the rear tire and 203.5 on the front, which seems a bit heavy > 421lbs. wet full tank. Dry weight of the bike was 390lbs. A gallon of gas weighs 6.073 / 3.3 gallon (Caswell) you get 20.04 lbs for a total of 410lbs. Are Termi's heavier than stock? Suburban bars, rear fender but then I took off a few things which would probably even it all out so 410 should be close. 11 lbs. off with the scales unless I am forgetting something. polivo : I wouldn't use the scales if you need it close. I'm grabbing a beer after all that thinking! Title: Re: How much does my ducati really weigh? Post by: Howie on June 15, 2013, 09:42:24 PM I wouldn't expect the 2 scale method to be 100% accurate. Nor would I expect the weight listed by Ducati to be accurate either. The 1999 Monster 750 and the 2001 are listed as the same weight. '01 grew another rotor and caliper. Also got lighter (not much) wheels. Same exact weight? Not likely. Ducati lists the Penigale S at 414 lbs, Motorcycle Consumer News weighed it at 425. Maybe the extra 11 lbs are the US only reflectors :P

Exactly...Ducati is very optimistic on their weights, as are most manufacturers. Title: Re: How much does my ducati really weigh? Post by: Grampa on June 17, 2013, 08:38:33 AM (http://jenontheedge.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/holygrail026.jpg)
