Isn't the Gix rather porky as well?

Besides, an extra 20 lbs isn't going to hurt anything unless you're racing. In fact it might even make it ride better.

It does...alot. 20lbs moving at 100mph when you have to turn in 0.5s begins to become a problem.

Listen slice Remember...back in the late 90s, early 2000s, suspension was shit, so the heavier bikes yielded more confidence in the corners. That is not the case anylonger. Even Racetech shit back then didn't really fix the stability issue.

Besides I DID have a 2002 Gix 750....got stolen the first month I moved to CA. Mexicans...
