What is the weight limit for AMA lights(not that they will hit the, uh you know, min number of bike rules) A Husky hater keeps quoting a weight limit saying bike to light.

Husky is claiming a weight of about 202.4 pounds. Hopefully they are exagerating that weight, like everyone else does. if not they won't be racing until they pork up a little.


3. Minimum weight requirements
a. 0-125cc........... 194 pounds

b. 126 -250cc....... 213 pounds

c. 251-450cc....... 220 pounds

...dear santa......

I'm very commited to my '07 for the time being.

Otherwise- I'd be cleaning out my 401k (what's left of it ) paying everything off and being the first old fart on the block with one.

Cheese and crackers! ......that thing haunts my dreams..... *snivel*

Might need one of these for testing.

that 401k thing ain't a such bad idea,,,,before its all gone****************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I still can't for the life of me see where the 2 pounds came from the frame. Thinner wall tubing or ???

Different scale probably.

Oh- great, reinforce my fiscally suicidal spending ideas.

....."back-off man, I'll take the plunge, I mean it!!!".....

 

[fitness2go]

That's what I was thinking or maybe they changed weighing criteria.

Different scale probably.

I think it's time the AMA revises the weight limits to encourage more weight savings. If Husky can do it on a production machine without all the 'unobtainium' then no reason not to lower it.

I'm so use to slinging around a 260lb bike (EXC) and my 610 I wouldn't know what to do with 202lbs. It would be fun to figure it out though.

Beauty bike by the way.

 

[pvduke]

If that bike weighs 202 lbs., I'm a fried banana.

All bike makers, sans KTM, fudge by at least 10 lbs.

 

[Chris M]

Man, that bike should be fun at the track. It would be like BMX after riding my TE510.

PV,
I promise you its really lite,
I swear it feels lighter the my kids RM125.
the front wheel was locked and chocked but lifting the rear up into a nose wheelie was a cinch, which could also be front end weight bias set up.
you can bet that ready to ride will see @215 (hopefully) R

under weight can also mean placing weight where the rider wants it, been done like that in all forms of racing. (the 09 TC250 is a gem!!!)

Rob-

Just got off the phone with Josh and Paul.

OMG- the #'s and rating the race-team is getting from the motor and more are shocking.
Even if we get a 'tamed down' version for reliabilty, it's stil gonna rip.

My 401k has never been in such jeapordy. And I don't even race!

*gulp*

Help.

If you mean that they will be able to add weights post production to meet the rule, they won't, it's on the AMA cant do list.

 

[Mike Kay]

Is that AMA rule for all national races? All AMA sanctioned events? Or is it just MX/SX?

thanks.
