My Nephew just put a deposit on a r1 today, and I was looking at the H/P and weight ratio.
Comparing them to My K8 I went to the AUS and USA Suzuki Web sites and noticed that the K9 Busa is 260 KG`s ( kerb weight) as opposed to the K8`s 220
Is this correct ??? Doesnt seem right to me

K8 is not 220, i think its a bit more than that, like 257 KGS wet, could be wrong.. I know the Gen 1 is approx 217 dry weight approx 254 kgs wet.

Just refering to the stats given by Suzuki.
Seems like a big difference between the K8 and K9 for what appears to be the same bike except the paint

if you check stats you will see they all refer to the Gen1. Or as far as im aware. It was never updated on the suzuki site

Dry weight of the GEN II as listed on the distributed handbook, service manual and advertising pamphlets is 220kg dry. There are 27 litres of fluids when fuel tank is full.
Where does anyone that says it is heavier get their info from?
There have been items on the Gen II that have received weight reductions compared to the Gen 1 such as,
All the plastics are lighter, some engine components are lighter, the wheels are lighter and so on.
Of course the exhaust system is a bit heavier than the stock Gen 1 but that is easily fixed.

2 or 3 kgs diff is not a lot but I think that the stockers would be pretty much the same except that the 99/00 model with the alloy subframe is about 3kg less.
Back to SUZ#5's question.
Dry weight is without all the fluids and Kerb weight is with all the fluids.
So at the end of the day a wet GEN 1 is about 257 and a wet GEN II is listed as 260.
It then comes down to which exhaust system you live with.

Don't forget to strip down to your undies, suck in your belly and stick out your tongue.
This gives a better result too!
