Kinda Porky

Compared to the bikes that it mimicks, I think the CB11 weighs just about what I'd expect it to weigh. A standard, double downtube, steel framed bike sporting a liter sized inline 4 has historically weighed in the low 500 lb. range. I say historically because there aren't any modern bikes with that configuration. But if you look at the UJM liter bikes of the past, they're right in that ballpark.

I don't think modern bikes with smaller lighter aluminum frames, monoshock suspensions, plastic fenders and the like are directly comparable.
