Having just picked up a Bostrom 998s, I thought I'd get out my Longacre scales (advertised +/- 1% accuracy) and see what "real world" motorcycles weigh.
These are average bikes...all stock except for Termi slip-ons and maybe some levers and other non-weight issue items. Street tires and full street gear w/ OEM tool kits.
I did drain the fuel tanks dry before weighing.
1995 916, 435 lbs
2002 748s, 433 lbs
2002 998s Boz, 422 lbs
For comparison, I did one Bimota. DB4's have 900ss powerplants. (The Corse has a Ti muffler, Kehins and K&N's)
Bimota DB4 Corse, 357 lbs
Just fun info for all.
