On the 6th gen the thing needs at least a 60 pound diet and vtec delete. I
wont go into brakes. Anything like that I would take notice. My 5th gen - I have pulled about 15 pounds off between the carbon fibre exhaust and the brake delete. If I go by SportRider weights that puts the bike at 443 lbs dry - getting near the litre bikes and actually lighter than an RC51. (Feels good in the twists)
- --------------My wish list --------- whats yours?---------

Thats a good target - 440 dry, gimme 130hp,70ft-lb torque, top shelf suspension and brakes, VFR750 4th gen ergos, more near 5th gen styling. Dont put extra weight for the hard bags -thats for other bikes. BTW - I'm not hung up on the gear driven cams - yeah theyre cool, but if it doesnt have it - no biggee.
