But nobody seems to be able to post an actual weight.
One of the features of motorcycle specs is the lengths manufacturers go to to make their bikes appear lighter than they are. Sometimes the dry weight will have the engine and fuel tanks empty, the battery removed and tires removed. This has been going on in the industry for decades. A few publications actually weigh bikes when they test them. But big players like BMW threaten to withhold test bikes if the magazines don’t play ball. This is why you never see articles about BMW’s numerous quality issues. You’d never know that 40% of BMWs have serious problems by reading motorcycle sites.2
Also, most publications are owned by VerticalScope and are required to post glowing articles about Ebikes no matter how bad they are. There really is little reliable information out there.
