Roughly, it's 45/55 front/aft. I'll look for exact figures.

Here is the post I was thinking about:

1848 lbs. wet without driver, I can see an 88 lbs difference with all the options. There have to be others that have access to scales...
you can clearly see how she carries her weight

One of us with scales hasn't been curious so far? Mine are kinda buried right now, but I'd say the above mentioned 45-55 is pretty close.

So... what would it take to pop a wheelie?


Uh oh, did I just issue an irresistible challenge to some doofus that'll actually try it?
