Jordan, all I did was weigh one wheel at a time on a digital bathroom scale. Just make sure the bike is sitting solidly on the other tire. It also gives you an idea of the basic balance of the bike. I have yet to have a bike that was even close to advertised figures over the years. 419, btw, is really light. A 900SS Ducati I had weighed that with gas and it was amazing how easy it was to push around. Pounds matter. 450 lbs real weight is nothing to sneeze at if it has 180 rwhp.
