So I was curious about the weight of my 2021 T700 as it sits today. Claimed curb weight when purchased was 452 lbs. The farkles that I have added are as follows: Tusk panniers with quick release plates and tail rack, Apache 4800 side boxes, Apache 3800 top box, Motech center stand, replaced stock seat with a Sargent. In the photo, the side boxes are empty, the top box is completely full with the stock tool bag, more tools that I added, a new tube, patching/plugging kit, very small air compressor, 2 tire irons, rags, etc. The bike also has a full fuel tank.
From the feed mill scale where I get supplies: 515 LBS! Wow, I thought that I had been very careful to stay as light as possible when setting up the bike, but instead added 63 lbs. I have been putting off adding engine guards because of their weight. Now I'm glad that I did. I rode BBRSP last month and struggled with the road down into Tres Papalotes. The rainfall since I was last out there has washed the road system to the point that rock shelves and big rocks pepper many of the roads in BBRSP. I was guessing the farkles, tools, and tire necessities would get the T700 to 485ish. Man, I was wrong!
