@Couchy had one ( quelle surprise I hear you say :D )- dunno if he ever ventured offroad on it, but I do know he got his man to make an exhaust for it so he must have had it at least 24 hours :lol:

Jesus H Christ on a motorcycle.

But not that one.

257kg for an off-road bike? Are they out of their minds?
If they can build a 200 bhp sports machine weighing about 200 Kgs. Why can't they make a sensible weight big traily?
There's an element of all the safety gubbins and pollution stuff, however I'm convinced bikes are heavier because people have become heavier; two heavier people on a bike means beefier build, and two heavier people with luggage = even beefier build.

The last thing manufacturers want is some Jabba the Hut complaining on social media that the bike broke under him/her.
Nah. My enduro bike is 105 Kgs
I'm 95 Kgs and I jump and crash it all the time.
These bikes are tough and light.

I can almost see that ZX10 bending in the middle. It's not often I feel sorry for a bike...

Yup had one, took it off road and on a track day. It was a bit meh and cheaply made. Engine gutless too. An 800GS is better on and off road. The tenere is a well marketed but cheaply built bike, there’s much better bikes, hugely disappointing 👍
