I had rear wheels off both the V-Strom and the S10 tonight. I thought it might be interesting to weigh them... both bare but with discs. Which is lighter?













































V-Strom! 1.6lbs lighter.

Super Tenere wheel, 17lbs, Vee 15.4lbs

Interestingly, in percentage terms this is about the same as the difference in curb weight between the two - around 9%

That's your fun facts of the day!

How about a comparison of the Super Tenere (spokes) to the FJR (no spokes) but both shaft drive.
