Just in case anyone wants to know what a 1975 3-1/2 weighs with a battery and oil but no fuel, all stock - 325 lbs on the nose

And the battery as standard
And those cast wheels too. It's a noticeable difference pushing them in and out of the garage.
Interesting figures though, I always thought the older 350 was around 340 lbs as per brochures, that must have included fuel?
Oh and I'm sure unleaded/E10 is heavier as well as poisonous and devil worshipping too!

Re: 1975 3-1/2 dry weight
45 years of rust, bits fallen off. 10/40 semi lighter than 20/59 mineral?
Re: 1975 3-1/2 dry weight
No rust or missing bits on this 500 but it has Tarozzi rear sets and Elektronic Sasche ignition, lighter than the stock bits??
Re: 1975 3-1/2 dry weight
Wow, that is one gorgeous 500!
Just from picking up my old footrests in their baggie, I'm willing to bet the Tarozzis are a lot lighter. Also, they're made of chocolate.
