Is the KTM the lightest race quad now??

[GE4x4]

With the specs out and having a race weight of 357LBS minus gas, is the KTM now the lightest? I know the DS450 has a dry weight of 345 and the YFZ is dry at 350, but what would they weigh with all there fluids in minus gas like the KTM? I know these companies when they say dry weight, there is not a single drop of any fluid at all on the quad.

I think it would be pretty easy to knock 10 lbs. of the xc with a motox tire package,maybe a lightweight swing arm and axle.It is really light.you can change the attitude of the bike in the air very easily.

a stock YFZ450 with one gal of gas weights about 478 lbs and till the DS450 hit the show room floor we will not know.

He obviously meant to type 378, but considering that the 3 is directly beside the 4 on the keyboard, it was obviously a typing error. Use some common sense.

not dry just without gas. this would make it the lightest. till some one weights a DS450 on the showroom floor.

It is impressive how light the ktm is with a steel frame and a-arms and all that and can am hyped up all there trick light weight parts so much.

Are you positive that's not the dry weight? That would be sweet!

The frame is made out of Chromoly, which is lighter than steel.
