But suzi claim the dry weight at 134 which is unrealistic , ie no engine oil , no coolant, no fuel no battery acid no fork oil etc.
Start adding those things you get to about 155 kilos at the very least, an example is Mondo Enduro they got to Magadan for the weigh in for the Aeroflot flight to Alaska and tipped the scales at 151 kilos ie + 21 kilos on the dry weight.
The Suzi DRZ400 is 134 kilos claimed , add in 21 kilos for wet weight and the radiator and coolant and I'd say it comes in wet at about 158 kilos at the very least.
The XT is a claimed dry 154 kilos wet comes in at 170 kilos , mine is slightly heavier due to bigger tank , a bigger bash plate etc.
Also add in that fact that DR350s (at least not sure about the DRZ400) need the sub frame bracing in several places and the weight difference isn't massive. the XT produces its power via CCs, the DRZ produces its power via compression.
Or if you don't like the XT600 why not try the Yam TT600R or TTR600 , in that it uses the same engine as the XT600E for reliability but kick only no battery and Maiceik's came in at 156kilos wet, its seriously tall though. It uses alloy all over to save weight and has joke pillion foot rests. It does have a weakness in that the generator only makes 135watts, while the XT makes close to 300watts.
The red version of the Belguarda TT600R kickstart only , not the TT600RE (electric start) came with front and rear Ohlins suspension also, also you can save weight on the XT600 TT600 bikes by replacing the zorst which is a monster of a thing which turns to rust if you look at it too hard.
