Yes, of course, the RX3 figure is with the engine and frame guards and panniers and trunk, and the DR figure is sans attachments. But the two bikes are not that far apart in weight. I think someone posted long ago that the RX3 accessories account for about 40 lbs?

The side cases, top case, case guards, engine guards, and the heavy rear rack are closer to 50#.

I removed all those items and had the RX3 weighed:



Regardless of the weight, the RX3 is well balanced, and handles/feels like a much lighter bike.
