Anyway, dropped that sucker too many times to count and that full (because yes I filled up before I left) gas tank was a hell of a lot of weight in the wrong spot.
I won't do that again.
6 gallons x 6lbs per gallon = 36lbs, not that heavy. Being up high is what did it.
I find this bike only marginally heavier than my CBR, which is about 100lbs lighter, and has its weight as well managed as one could possibly ask for, being a sport bike.
