Sadly weight is the devil in the details. If a bike carries it's weight low then it can feel much lighter than it is. I think you guys here have stated that the RX3 doesn't feel as heavy as the stated curb weight of the bike. I can only assume that the RX3 carries it's weight down low. I understand the VX300 is similar in that it feels lighter than it's curb weight would suggest. But look at a bike like a KLR and it carries a lot of it's weight up top and combined with a 6.1 gallon fuel tank riding up top I understand it is a real pig to pick up if you drop it.
So I hope that the weight characteristics of the RX3 can be carried over to the RX3s and RX4. The bike feeling lighter and more nimble than it's curb weight implies would be huge and a big benefit if your off the beaten path and drop your bike.
