WEIGHED - No Fuel - Kove 450 Rally Street Legal

How Much Does the Kove 450 Rally REALLY Weigh when tanks are empty?
In this Southwest Trails and Wheels video, I put the Kove 450 Rally Street Legal bike on the scale—literally. Using a common bathroom scale and some carefully placed blocks of wood, I measure the bike's true weight without any fuel in the tanks.

This DIY weighing method lets me capture the front and rear wheel weights independently while keeping the bike level and stable. Once I crunch the numbers, I compare the real-world weight to Kove's claimed dry weight spec.

I also share subjective impressions on:

The bike’s low center of gravity

How it feels to push and maneuver in the garage

Comparisons to the Honda XR650L and Yamaha WR250R in terms of weight and balance

If you're curious about the Kove 450 Rally's real weight, or wondering how it stacks up to other dual sports and rally bikes, this video is for you.
