Busa weight reduction on 99-07 Gen I?

[Hayabusa2005]

Has anybody actually weighed their Gen I Busa and modify / shave weight off the bike?

I know rearsets, exhausts, wheels save weight but what else? What is the lowest weighing Busa do we have in this forum? I am asking because of weight/hp ratio...

I have a 1/12 Diecast Busa. Its pretty light

If you drain all of the fluids out you can save a LOT of weight!

Nickslick's Busa, now owned by Biggar on LABs is now on sale in the San Diego Craigslist is about 100lbs lighter than normal. Carbon Fiber Suzuki Hayabusa

People always told me I'd get rid of a lot of dead weight cutting from the shoulders up...

On serious note...
Exhaust,rims,swing arm, carbon fiber stuff. Etc...

If you take a dump before you ride you gain the equivalent of 5hp

I was thinking the same thing the other day, as soon as our new outside scale is installed at work I will get a weight on mine. I know she has lost a few pounds

to get bettter weight to power ratios on a bike it's much easier to slap a turbo on it.

Pull it up on one wheel and dump the passeger. You might save 120+lbs. depending if you like 300pounders or not.

you can shave about 35lbs with the $725 Titanium exhaust for sale in the classifieds AND add hp too

My 2000 started at 545 lbs. (I remember weighing it but sorry, don't remember how much gas was in it at the time). It now weighs 495 lbs. with 1/2 tank of gas (on racing scale).
Aftermarket and mods appear below. I think you ask a meaningful question, it's good to know your bike's weight. Raydog
