Glad you asked!
If your click the link in my first post (the review) wet weight is only 770 LBS as tested and the model tested is the fully loaded with all options model at 24k, base model is only 20K.
In this world of WAY overweight bikes, that truly is light weight not that different from my current bike.
... and 7 gallon fuel tank too! 6 cylinder engine ...
