I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

 

Why the hell does it have to weigh more than a 4 cylinder superbike? I used to think the GS650 was the heavy weight king of all grossly overweight thumpers, but this XTZ takes the cake. :angel:

 

I totally agreed, as mentioned in my the first post, that at 183kg, it's definitely heavy.

 

If the XT660Z is compared to it's predecessors, it doesn't look too bad.

XTZ750 (Super Tenere) - 203 kg

XT600Z (Tenere) - 165 kg

 

However, if the XT660X is compared to other dual sports, it does seem heavy.

Here is the dry weight of the following dual sports (in ascending order)

 

XR650R - 125 kg

TE610 - 140 kg

DR650SE - 147 kg

XR650L - 147 kg

KTM640 Adventure - 158 kg

Pegaso 650 - 161 kg

FMX650 - 163 kg

Dominator - 165 kg

KLR650 - 175 kg

F650GS - 175 kg

KLE500 - 178 kg

XL600V - 183 kg

XT660Z - 183 kg

Vstrom 650 - 194 kg

 

Are you ready to know which is the heaviest enduro bike in this range ? It is none other than the

JH600 - 195 kg ......... never hear before ?

DR650SE - 147 kg

XR650L - 147 kg

KTM640 Adventure - 158 kg

Pegaso 650 - 161 kg

FMX650 - 163 kg

Dominator - 165 kg

Highland DesertStorm - 168 kg (*936cc)

KLR650 - 175 kg

KLE500 - 178 kg

Why don't u suggest to BMW to make a 650 version of the HP2.

I've always been amazed at how the very same manufacturers who produces lightweight enduros (WR250, WR450, KLX450, CFR450X) and cutting edge sports bikes insists on giving us dual sports that have been overly fattened up and overly detuned.

 

The XR250R is a very competent trail machine. Why did honda have to detune the very nice engine when it came out with the Baja? Or have the XR250L model with slightly different frame geometry, wimpy suspension, and a battery that does nothing?

 

Same for the big KLX. What sense does it make to have 1 model for off-road (KLX 650R) and a very "soft" (read detuned, wimpy suspension) road model (KLX 650C)?

 

Same thing again for Suzuki. Why can't they simply bolt on lights to the very competent DRZ400E, instead of having another S model with different suspension, heavy crankshaft, awful carb? And get this. The E model retails for less than the sanitised S model in the US.

haha,now we all now your dirty little secret...

 

 

anyways...here's video to the new honda Transalp...

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNh1MsDA9Qw

 

it may not suit hardcore riders lah...but it might just find its way to the hearts of most adventure riders...Its really the riders that makes the bike adventure...not the bike makes the rider adventurous...what if buy one hardcore adventure bike park outside HRC?its still adventure when the lady that's sonn gonna end up at the back seat...woah..

- Your runaway box & content = 50kg

- Your obese tank with petrol = 9kg

- Weight of welding for sub-frame = 1kg

- Rust = 5 kg

 

So if you less all these extra weight, your XR650R is 125kg. So correct what ! :angel:
