lineaway Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not enough to matter. I believe the 2002 had mag cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Gas Gas Usa shows 146lbs in 2003 and Gas Gas UK shows 67k for 2014. Same company same weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Makes me laugh when GasGas say 200 grams off weight of fuel tank on 2014 models is significant weight saving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I found a letter from the USA importer yesterday that had the 2002 280 at 65.3 K or 144 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) The 02 was heavier than that, it has the steel OLD forks tubes & larger old fork tanks on the front. new bikes the pair of alum forks weigh less than one of the old forks. Dad actually weighed all our bikes, when we still had the 06 pro, 08 10 raga, and the 11 raga 300's. they had different weights of course, ready to ride (full of fuel and all that) with the 11 being the lightest. if he still has it written down anywhere, I might remember to post it. Plus we've owned (or chaperon'd owners) that had the 02 280, and they cannot believe how much difference there is in bikes, until each of them moved up to, well like my newest rider went to the 08 or 07 Pro... there is more than just the weight, but where the weight is IMHO, that makes a difference. I guess we'll have lead skid plates next year, so Honda can finally catch up with gasgas/sherco/beta on "bike weights" lol. Again, I laugh a little, with you guys because Jordi was throwing the old 93 models around more than most of us ever will the 14 on up models...

lineaway Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 You forget Mitch the `02 had mag cases. Dale listed it at 144 and the `03 at 146. I just sold a complete `03 Front end to Jim Snell. Triple clamps and forks complete with front axle. In the box ready to ship 18 lbs.

trevbul1 Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have a 2003 GG 250 TXT Edition and a 2021 TXT Racing side-by-side at the moment. I can tell you for sure that the 2003 bike is a good deal heavier but can't say by how much. Just take the rear wheels out; they are considerably different in weight on thir own. All I can say for sure is, being partially disabled, the new bike is a lot easier to ride for two hours, no question about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
