I am so thrilled at the body of data I just learned! I found a local race shop (dragsters) here in Reno, great guy and he has a $2600 certified 4 pad scale! I told him about the Superbyke and he said "just bring it down, we'll find out all about its weight". When the bike was all set up on the scale system and he read the meter he said, "Well, how much would pi$$ you off and how much would you be happy with?" I answered, "I'll be angry at anything over 500 pounds and very happy at 490 pounds".
He smiled and said, "How do you like 466?" 466 pounds wet with over 1/2 gallon gas in the tank! I am so excited I can't stand it! So many folks have asked about the weight, now we know and it's a 466 pound fully street legal Hayabusa!
Other info is....the front end is 13 pounds heavier than the rear (perfect) and with the kickstand down, the front end gives up exactly 1/2 of it's load to the stand (trivia I guess).
One of the few unanswered issues when comparing this bike to Aprilias, Ducatis, MV's and other so called "nakeds" was "what will it's weight come in at?" Now we know JUST AS LIGHT as it's exotic competition! Viva la Busa! Doyle
