Let's take original ZXR-250 as starting-point.



~355 lbs
-10 lbs going to single front disc-brake
+5 lbs ABS
+5 lbs EFI w/traction-control in ECU
+5 lbs steel frame
-----------------
~360 lbs or same as current Ninja 400 non-ABS

Not sure where extra +65-lbs on top of that comes from. Unless they are just using parts from common parts-bin such as heavier 600 wheels, tank, or 600 engine block sleeved down to 250???. That weight would make sense then if entire bike is 600 with sleeved down engine... hmmm..
