[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 13906, member: 329"] My numbers came from the July 2002 and October 2003 issues of MotorCyclist magazine and they were for a 2003 standard and a 2004 ABS models with hard bags installed. They did not say if they were testing California models and if there is a weight difference between a California model and what is sold in the other 49 states. MotorCyclist claims they actually weigh the bikes they test on certified scales but there are probably small variances among certified scales. It should also be noted that the tire manufactures' maximum weight ratings are for maximum cold air pressures and "cool" riding conditions but I have not been able to find their definitions of what a "cool" riding condition is.
