maybe that's because it is not the weight for a plated mx bike

The weight of the MX bike is used as a absolute minimum weight starting point for bare essentials. ~240lbs Add all things needed for a reliable streetable performance sportbike and you will find it hard to be under 300lbs with out amassing quite the asking price.

there is no way around it. Do you think mfg make their bikes heavy on purpose?

I can see it now
"hey Bob, we could make the same bike 50lbs lighter with out increasing cost but ya know what, lets just make it heavier for the hell of it."

125cc single cylinder 2t streetable sport bikes barely get under 300lbs how are you going to do it with a twin or more 4t?

When you figure it out call the big 4 and have a bidding war, you my friend will be a rich man
