    @declan yeah they're heavy if you compare them to pure mx / enduro bikes. I'm not a particularly strong guy but after playing around with a DR-Z 400 off-road, I am very happy on a DT / TDR weight wise. For thieves however, there is no weight limit. My Dad had one of his Triumph 900cc Thunderbirds stolen years back. On the CCTV they literally just picked up a wheel each and walked it into their van. They were big guys, but that's over 220kg worth of bike...

      If you are gonna go down the lock & chain route, then this Almax is the only one worth buying;

      Not the cheapest but the only one guaranteed to keep your loved one safe. I just love this vid too, just look how knackered out those two poor blokes are, trying to break that bad boy!!! 👍

          @declan Compared to...

          I mean no they ain't no crosser, but they're lighter than the current series of bikes.

          Something around 120Kg, where the Aprilia RS is about 110.

          A YZ is around 90.

          It's a good deal, but then again the WR125 is 137Kg so it's light when you compare it to what's out today

            @Calum I should probably say the dt is the only full sized bike I've ever owned so I suppose I need to get used to it but my re bore is all done just need to fetch it so hopefully it runs good

                Havent many bikes myself but I like my dtx also because its very light and easy to handle on bends. Sour back when lifting my keeways rear end up but DT is really light
