I guess it does sort of count as a middleweight. You've got the lightweight stuff like the CRF300, then the 650-900cc stuff like this and then the stupidly big 1000cc+ stuff like the big GS.

I've rode a Tenere 700 and a KTM 890 briefly and I cant wrap my head around why you'd pick a 240kg bike over those

I think that they are middleweights compared to these lard as GS's and stuff. I always though a middle weight was 600.

It's the power output (or lack of) from some of these big cc bikes that gets me. 1200cc Triumph twin something like 90bhp.

Old school Fazer 600 same for half the cc's.

I get by with 45bhp on a 150kg bike... #JustSayin

I was declared an asshole once for pointing out that some bloke's "big" British sidevalve 500cc had less power than my stupid little foreign 250 two stroke.

When I was a motorcycle courier a "big" courier bike was no more than a a CX500. Nobody wanted to have to feed a bigger bike just to get a parcel from here to there, and there were plenty of people on fecking CG125's and things that still trundled off to Wales and shit occasionally.

Mt car has 50 horsepower (allegedly) and I'm fine with that.

Did a trial 100 miler trial around Brecon with my boy and a laden top box. Power wasn't an issue at any time although the shifting in the centre of mass made the front feel light. Too light at one point - unintended wheelie in first. As for the weight - only had the preload on the 3rd notch up. I think the previous owner may've been a proper fattie and uprated the spring. No significant diving from the forks either under heavier braking.

I'd make sure I store them between the long weights and the short weights.
