Admin Jaap Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks! Before the rebuild the bike already produced 91 bhp instead of the standard 79. And that was only with K&N's and Mistral mufflers. I can't guess how much it is now as I haven't been on the bike for 1,5 years. Later this year I will probably take it to HdeB to have it dynoed and remapped properly. Hope to see you on the Italday in Tiel, August 22nd. That's when she makes her "debut"

If im in Holland at the time of the Italday i will go there for sure..weather permitting off course. But looking at my schedule now i dont think i can make it. <_>
Admin Jaap Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Just a quick update: It's back from the painters and I will have pics soon. Yesterday evening we weighed the bike: 202 kgs with oil and full petrol tank. So that's about 190 kgs dry weight.
Guzzirider Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 That is MUCH lighter than stock- I think Mal had his V11 Le Mans weighed with fuel and oil at about 260kgs.
Admin Jaap Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Yes, much lighter, it feels that way too. And the weight is nicely divided on both wheels.
Guzzirider Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Hmmm ((strokes chin)) maybe a 1225cc Daytona engine AND a GB kit....... just remembered I have no money! DAMN!
Admin Jaap Posted August 12, 2010 Author Posted August 12, 2010 Hmmm ((strokes chin)) maybe a 1225cc Daytona engine AND a GB kit....... Come on Guy, now you have spoiled the surprise for Sibbe! Just kidding Nice idea though
moscowphil Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Just a quick update: It's back from the painters and I will have pics soon. Yesterday evening we weighed the bike: 202 kgs with oil and full petrol tank. So that's about 190 kgs dry weight. 202 Kg fully fueled is seriously light by any standard. So where's all the weight gone? Quite a lot from the wheels presumably, but where else? Please give the rest of us a few clues! I reckon a weight saving of that magnitude will turn the V11 into the bike it always should have been!
raz Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Well the tank is much smaller, so it's a slightly unfair comparison. Anyway, the exhaust can save several kgs too. But it is still very light so there's something more to it!
Streethawk Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Your bike looks great! Excited to see the new paint...
Admin Jaap Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Here it is: (Sorry for the bad pic taken with my mobile, better pics will follow) I think the main weight loss is caused by the wheels. The OEM body parts are very heavy too. The G&B subframe is a lot lighter. I've alsoadded a lot of (lighter) aftermarket stuff: Rossopuro cardan reaction rod and upper triple tee, Braking Wave discs M&R adjustable clipons etc, etc.
