with the factories quoting curb weights instead of fresh from the crate dry weight (about time) I did some thinking about the whole 150kw/tonne thing..

by my numbers (206kg, 44kw) the Versys squeaks under the limit with almost 2kw/t to spare!

this wont apply in the ACT cos they use 68kg rider weight instead of 90 but I am wondering if that would mean you could unleash the full mumbo in say nsw, etc without causing kitten genocide..

any thoughts?

If its not on the RTA list than it wont be on your rego papers as Lam's

You could always contact the RTA's call centre & explain yourself & ask to speak to a manager & get them to look into it using the revised weights & hp. They seemed quite happy to help me with my queries when i called them a few years ago regarding lams laws.
