I measured my 961 with a full tank of fuel using the same method 2 years ago and was surprised.Front – 239lbsRear – 259lbs498 lbs.That blew my mind. I was expecting more like 430-440lbs.Hell, the SBN exhaust is at least 10lbs lighter than the stock exhaust.I repeated the process 3 different times and got the same numbers.I looked on the Norton UK site back then for the official weight of the 961, but they no longer published it with the other specs.I got a another surprise a few months later when I dropped the bike in the garage while moving it around.Lifting is up was a so easy. I've dropped 4 cyl bikes before and had a job getting them back up.I have to believe the 961 carries its weight down low.It's probably the massive cases and balancer shaft that account for the bikes generous weight numbers and low CG.
