I haven't weighed it, but I'd guess it's about 35 pounds curb weight. And judging from what the bars looked like when I pulled the plugs out. I'll be looking for a set of those $35 aluminum wonders soon.

That calculator is fun. Removing 10 pounds, changing nothing else resulted in a 0.3 mph advantage. Moving from the tops of the bars to the drops resulted in a 3 mph advantage.
