I whine about my 150# bike.

(23,851 posts)4. The bike is made under contract for the U.S. Marine Corps
Marines would not whine about the weight of a bike.
They might complain, gripe, or bitch about it.
But never whine.

Curb weight of the gas model is 337 lb, so I don't think the diesel is going to weigh too much more.
I have the post-2008 gas model, which actually does run 400lbs, and it's a beast, but still quite nimble offroad.
