Rowdy 372 lb. Sport 1100
« on: June 28, 2015, 09:09:37 PM »

Bruce McQuiston of Moto-Studio visited today. We both rode Sport 1100's through Kutztown, PA. Sounded pretty good from where I was sitting.

His Sport based build is down to 372 pounds dry.  Carbon fiber fuel tank, magnesium wheels, heads by Mike Rich, 42mm carbs.

We switched bikes-- a big difference!

That's purty.

What's the weight difference between his and us commoners with standard Spots?

Money spent at Mike Rich Motorsports is money well spent. That's a nice machine !

I believe the stock Sport weighs 510 pounds dry. Sitting on his was a little like getting on my Monza. Of course there was also a big difference in horsepower.

I bet that thing rocks!  Kinda like the differences in my Larios. Night and day. Can't imagine with that lightness and those heads. Eee gads.

I need to weigh mine, but I believe the carb Sport 1100 was listed at 485-lbs dry.
