I always knew this was an issue for me (thought I had long legs till I started riding a bike!) but then I borrowed a mates ZX12r for a quick trip to Bristol to pick up a part for my ZZR600 and so so nearly dropped it at some lights in Bristol where the camber on the left side went down a lot more than I expected and it was also a downhill slope!!
From that day I never put my left foot down for a stop on a road I didn't know very Very well! I always put my right foot down and got pretty good at doing hill starts off the front brake because often I couldn't do the 'shuffle' and swap feet as most do!
Over here I've not noticed a major camber at most places I stop, but now I do tend to put my left foot down cos 'usually' I'd expect the camber to go to the right!
Many riders just wobble to halt, with the bike leaning whichever way the last wobble went. Or wave a leg around and use that weight to make fall over / lean.
. And definitely chose which side I would lean!! Always the other side to the lower bit of the camber

Looks ok that. I think £5k has been mentioned but the figure I found was €5k.

I hate to be a miserable old bastard but I'd rather spend the 5k on a second hand Honda.

Yeah, well, I'd probably have a Suzuki DR-Z but the little thing up there's OK.

Use a very brief countersteer and release just as you nip in the clutch to get the bike leaning and that foot down.

And the last few weeks mine has too and it's got me thinking like Yorick, they're just too damn heavy for what they need to do. A 30 yr old Honda XR250 puts out the same power as a Himalayan 411 and weighs 70kg less with more travel and ground clearance.
The only thing it lacks is a screen and some racks.
Quite why a crf300/voge300/Rieju307 needs to be 170kg god only knows. It can't be due to A2 as a390 Duke is more powerful and lighter.
Yes emissions and ABS but changing my exhaust to a decat only saved 4kg and abs removal would only be 2kg more...
The weight just sucks out the fun off road

The Fantic Caballero weighs 150kg. They seem to keep it down.

A full road going 690 Duke weighs less than 170kg, think they are 160 wet, with ABS and a full dustbin sized cat underneath, plus TC etc. I have no idea how modern bikes are so heavy.Ditchfinder wrote: Thu Oct 23, 2025 4:54 am Quite why a crf300/voge300/Rieju307 needs to be 170kg god only knows.

My fully road legal GasGas EC300 weighs 107 kgs.
Where does all the extra weight come from?

Do any of these bikes actually weigh any of these manufacturers numbers?
Has anyone actually put a ready to ride 690 on some scales?

The nearest thing I can think of to an XR250R is something like a KTM250EXC or similar. If you move along the KTM range to something like the 690 Enduro R, then it's around 170kg fully fuelled.
There's a couple of people have done around the World trips on a KTM500EXC. You're not thrashing the nuts off it in a race which extends the service intervals. Pop on a high volume clutch cover for extra oil capacity which extends the oil change interval even more and you're good to go. About 110kg on the road.
