I measured min at the lowest point, where I actually sit.
My 500 is almost level, so I just measured it, the 300 I measured at the lowest point (also where you naturally sit).

Man, the CRF150F is a porker compared to the TTR125L. Twenty-nine pounds is huge. Selling the 150F for a 150R anyway.

I'll bet a TTR 125L is even lighter than a 125 LE (electric start). The 125L's have so little compression, I bet I could start it by hand. I definitely see the appeal of an e-start for little guys though.

09 klx250sf
147.2 front
159.2 rear
33.25" seat height
3 gallons of gas and rear rack added
Claimed weight 302.1 lbs. and seat height is claimed 33.9".
My bike was a supermoto factory and I swapped on monster off road tires and gas tank holds 1.3 gallons more fuel, plus rack so I would say its was lighter than factory maybe.
Bike weight doesn't really bother me to much most the time..

2013 KTM 300 xc
Front: 117.8
Rear: 122.2
Total: 240.0
Manufacturers claimed weight: 222.9 dry
This weight includes the following accessories that probably add up to additional 8-10 lbs.
Aluminum skid plate
Scotts steering dampner
FMF Turbine Core II silencer
Carbon fiber pipe guard
The bike also has approximately 1 gallon of gas in the tank.
I did not do a seat height measurment since I have not set the sag on the bike yet. I will update it after this weekend.

Ok, here's mine
'03 KTM 525exc
F: 140
R:141
Total: 281 (mfg dry weight 260)
Approximately 1 gal fuel
Seat Height 37.25"
Bark busters, desert tank, steering damper, fork subtanks, headlight, HD tubes
It would be tough to get it down much more, I can see maybe dropping 5 pounds.
Ktm in 10 years have dropped almost 40# off the 500, not too bad!

My KX/KDX Hybrid:
111.0 front
124.2 rear
235.2 lbs total w/no gas
no gas in the tank, with skid plate and radiator guards.
20 lbs lighter than the KDX 220. Not bad. I could get it down another 5-10 lbs if I got really aggressive. Ditching the stock exhaust alone could shave 5-8 lbs, but I like it enough as is. There are higher priorities than a super light weight, like a headlight and a kickstand, etc.
