Curious what a fully outfitted adventure motorcycle weighs? Well, we wondered the same thing and have since strapped a variety of ADV motorcycles to the digital scale here at our shop in Seattle.
We then asked our fans on Facebook to guess the weight, awarding the first person to post the correct weight on our Facebook page with a couple of Touratech-USA pint glasses!
Featured below are just a few of the bikes that we’ve weighed:
Chris Morgan’s 2014 BMW R1200GS Adventure – 589 lbs (full tank of fuel)
Lisa Thomas’ BMW F650GS – 683 lbs
The bike, which has traveled more than 320,000 miles over the last ten years, is outfitted with Touratech‘s large fuel tank, Zega Pro panniers and an assortment of other ADV accessories.
Helge Pedersen’s 2013 BMW R1200GS Adventure – 628 lbs
2012 BMW G650GS Sertao – 486 lbs
Whitney Koeberle’s 2007 BMW R1200RTP – 647 lbs
2011 BMW R1200GS – 632 lbs (Fully Loaded)
We weighed this bike the day that Tom and the Backcountry Discovery Routes team returned from the UTBDR expedition. Bike was full of camping gear, clothing, food, fuel and other ADV essentials.
