How Much More Do 4-strokes Weigh (all Else Equal)

Dont think there is anything you can compare from 2005

Mont only had 4 stroke

Beta only had 2 stroke

Sherco did both (I think but that may be 2006) but no one bought the 4 stroke cos they wouldn't start.

Think Sherco 4 stroke is / was about 3-4kg heavier but could be wrong

Simple formula -more metal = more strength = more reliability (unless the designer is a wally)

Suggest we have a minimum weight for trials bikes set at 85KG. This would make bikes more reliable for Joe public and maybe make the sections less exrteme for the top boys as an extra 20kg is harder to throw around

He he - not a bad idea, make it 120Kg and I'll be right back up there :thumbup:

Lightest to heaviest: Gas Gas, Sherco, Beta, Montesa... Reverse the list for Quality and reliability.

The lightest bike becomes the heaviest when pushing it home.

Especially the Gassers as i found out with my old one lol.

Gaz - maybe we could do like F1 -combined minimum weight of bike and rider. You could stick with the Sherco but Bou would have to ride a road bike with full panniers. Sounds fair to me

Not a bad idea but I still think he'd have the upper hand :thumbup:
