"So battery fluid, fork oil, engine oil and shock gas weighs 34 pounds? Is that what you're saying? That shouldn't be more than 6 or 7 pounds! What do they use for engine oil, mercury? Liquid sodium? Deuturium?"

You forgot coolant. And Brake fluid for all three systems (two brakes + clutch). And when they talk dry weight they're talking battery not battery fluid.

I wonder how long before the engine blows. The last engine was good for oh about 4000 miles before failure.

Most serios sportsbikes are around 440 dry, so it's not far off. MY BROTHER AND I BOUGHT ONE AND ITS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, ITS GOT CHARACTER BIG TIME AND WITH A RACE CAN + V12 FUEL MAP IT MMOOOOOOOOOOVES AND SOUNDS LIKE A BLOODY SPITFIRE...BUY ONE! It doesn't handle like a 916 (nothing does) but from 110-160 mph it's miles faster.

Points to note;

At 500 mile service retighten head bearings. Needs heavier front springs for track days. Unlike jap bikes it wont be superceded next week.
