[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 919559, member: 4296"] [B]Wet weight: ......................532.0 lbs.[/B] Freddie Bear, that 532 lbs. is taken directly from page 15 of the July 2010 Issue of Motorcycle Consumer News for a 2010 BMW R1200GS; I am staring right at it, MCN uses certified scales for all of their wet weight measurements. The BMW R1200GS Adventure is a different animal than the Super Tenere, with the GSA's much larger fuel tank and upgraded suspension components. They really should have compared a Super Tenere to a standard BMW R1200GS. Dave's GS was a non-ABS, which would account for 17 lbs. difference from 532 to 515 lbs., 17 lbs. for ABS Hardware would be about right; and on top of that since Metro Mechanical had to certify helicopter lifts with Arizona Department of Weights and Measures for picks on to high rises with our mechanical equipment, Dave still has the 515 lb. printout!
