What's the weight of an H1 crank vs. an H2 crank?

Yes Leo does, but if you like the way the S series is with light handlings and weight, then you will not have that anymore......

I don't think it takes a lot of weight in the crank/pistons to make a bike heavier feeling with gyroscopic effect. In the dirtbike world, it is noted that the 300 "feels" heavier in the woods than a 250 and that feels heavier yet than the 200 even though on paper they weigh within a few pounds of each other. That is only 50cc of weight difference vs. 350cc different from a s3 to an h2.

And a pretty cool handmade boardtracker replica. I believe it is Yamaha XS650 at the core. Younger guy built it. Very nice attention to detail.

Actually That's a modded DR650 engine. The guy had a build thread over on ADV rider.

Yeah...makes sense. I guess I realized that it wasn't a twin. Pretty sure I heard the guy talking to someone else saying it was "titled as an XS-something or other".

Steve, do you have a link to the build?
