You know the weight is wet right Bill?

Yes but isn't the CBF's quoted weight of 226kg wet too???? :help

Probably Bill... I'd expect both bikes to be of similar weights personally.

Cheers Dan I personally thought with the lighter frame etc the CB1000R would be considerably lighter than the CBF thou having said that the single sided swinging arm probably weight a proverbial ton :cry

 

[DAN]

Yeah the single sider... looks good but is unnecessary really... plus as you say it adds weight (but it makes removing the rear wheel a doodle!) :thumbup

The CB1000R's dry weight must be around 190kg.

I was gonna say; Honda have only just started quoting wet weights, which I think is a bit cheeky TBH. Sure, we don't ride round on dry bikes so the dry weight is irrelevant in that respect, but the CB has a small tank so its wet weight may appear really light too. Personally I'd like to see a wet and dry weight, so you can see what difference things like fuel make to the bike.

You can see just by looking at it that it's a lot lighter than the CBF, which only shares a common engine, albeit completely differently tuned. The CBF is a bus compared to the CB

Cheers Ernst all far to complicated why not stick with either day weights or wet weights as Antee & Dan have both commented on
