Help Support Husaberg:
Usually weights for motorcycles is given in dry weight.
The type of tires, and tubes greatly affects the weight of a bike as well.
How reliable is your scale that you're using?
At the Dirt rider 24 hour test of 06 I believe they weighed the Husaberg with gasoline ready to ride and it was 268 lbs or 121.8KG's. So, if they had 2 gallons of gas in it, 121#-12#=109kgs.

yes they remove all liquids and probably the tyres?

a pint weighs a pound so 9 litres is 2 gallons which is 16 pints which is 7 kilos.
i've weighed mine twice at 120KG with low fuel but handguards fitted, no leccy start or battery, heavy duty tubes fitted.

I weighed my 650 fueled, tooled, accessorised and ready to go at 122.2 kg. My wife KLX250/300 in similar condition, with many superfluous bits removed weighed 128.5kg. Manufactures weights are a bit of crystal ball gazing and marketing for them. Bathroom scales under each wheel and then add the two results together. What else have we got out there to weigh?

weight of bikes
Weight of a bike at rest (on scales) is important to be aware of, when picking the bike up handlebar down hill off the trail you'll understand.
The most important factor of weight is when it's in motion
This is were the Husaberg feels great,(with proper suspension tuning) the balance front to rear, suspension control on compression and rebound, weight distribution, all combined, make the bike very workable. I have owned four Fe501's
My WR450 Yamaha is a good bike but you can feel the 285 pounds (3 gallon tank) when stopped or while making corrections in motion, the weight is very noticeable, always feels heavy!!
My 200KTM is light, so light it has a nerves feel about it, deflects easy when blasting through brush (sage brush in Idaho)
I hope the 2009 Husaberg is going to be as great as what my expectations are. I am definitely going to buy a "09" sounds like they got this balance and gyroscope effect of spinning parts working in the riders favor, not against the rider. I am sure this company can build a great enduro bike if not held back.
Have a great ride

I would say woults 115kgs without fuel would be bang on the money for an FE.
The magazines wet weight and steves wet weights of around the 122kg mark confirm this
ie 122kgs - 10.5L of fuel @ approx 780gm/L= 8.2kgs approx= around 114kgs for a "wet" bike minus fuel

I weighed my 08 FE 550 last week as delivered, was 113.5kg with about 4 litres of fuel (10.5 litre tank), indicators, oil and coolant, one mirror, long rear fender extension. Weighed again with hand guards fitted, short rear extension, 7.5 litre tank (dry), no mirrors or indicators- 109.5kg.

there used to be a rule in RR about a kilo was worth a BHP but of course it would have been relevant to the class that you were on about. those are very impressive numbers for the husey but when the new "modern" engine comes out we won't be the lightest then i wouldn't think.
