I haven't weighed it. It's about 3-4 lbs heavier than the larger frame moto I've been rocketing around on. That extra weight seems to be positioned over the rear wheel.
Haven't decided on the bar grips yet. The color really doesn't go with the bike. On what passes for pavement around here, their feel is slightly on the jarring side.
Come off the bike with numb hands on long rides. Not sure if it's the grips, or a reach problem. Lower back says it's not a reach problem yet. Can't do anything really fitment related until the LBS get's the stuck seat post out. I'm hoping they are not too busy in a couple of weeks, when I plan to take it in.
