Gents and Ladies,
So I've seen a figure of 407 pounds for "claimed" curb weight of the GT1000 from Ducati. I've chopped off fenders, removed stuff, replaced stuff and added CF wheels (which are life-changing, by the way) and I'm intrigued to know how much my bike really weighs.
I went to the Palo Alto city dump yesterday. The guy there doesn't let you see the scale output--you drive on and he goes in his little office and tells you the number. He told me the bike weighs "between 400 and 420 pounds."
Either Ducati is exaggerating or the Palo Alto city dump was calibrated with a bad case of butcher's thumb/wild inaccuracy.
Anyone know a place around the SF bay area where I can weigh my bike accurately? Ideas?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
