cb750 weight

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

Hi Guys,
Getting a bit old and knackered now to work off the floor and I am going to buy a pump up bench but am confused about the old girls weight.
Haynes says 210kg the Vin sticker says 385kg
                                                               420?
And off the web I found 254kg.Does anybody know WTH it is?
Cheers

210 would be about right.

385 or 420 must be the max gross weight (surely) - that's bike + you + missus (oo-err)

My Tiger 1050 weighs 220kg

Cheers Steve that will do for me as the bench's I have been looking at can cope with that weight but its called workshop mobyelette station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a Raliegh Runabout when I was 16. It was the poor man's Mobylette (as French was obviously better...)

It was made of straw and papier mache. Weighed about 20 oz. Cost me £15.

... but surprised my Fizzie and SS50* mates by holding on to nearly 35 mph.



* In 1975, an SS50 cost about £150

These bike weigh nearly 500lb wet, 223kg, f--ing heavy old beasts

That's only 20lb less than my dads Triumph Trophy 1200 no wonder my little legs struggle at times.
I dropped that once I wont be picking that up in a hurry again.

Try lifting a Wing off it's side mate!!

210Kg is a laugh. The reason I went for the 550 was because it was 420lbs wet. The 750 has all the weight up top.

Cheers guys as long it can take 300kg that should be suffice.

Les I have the same problem as you I'm on my tippy toes on most bikes.
It's not normally because of the weight I just can't reach the dam floor especially if I tuck my trousers in my boots to far.
On my Pegaso I have to slide of the seat to reach the floor hill starts can be interesting trying to hop from foot to foot.
With the 750 I cant even reach the kick start if I stand to the right of the bike.

Note to self buy a dam battery.

No thanks I'm sure my arms are now an inch longer after picking the Trophy up.
I once picked the pegaso up and it through me over the tank when it went to far
Being short sucks.

This very nice lady had exactly the same problem but solved it by using the appropriate footwear, just a thought!?!

I tried the shoes but I looked daft without the dress.
