It's still only 65 mph in Ohio. Really, on a light weight 620, I get blown around all over the place when trucks pass me. Around 65-70 mph is pretty comfortable cruising. I've gone 80 for a couple of hours before, but it's sorta a chore.

I agree, though, the cops won't get you unless you're going 10 over. They WILL give you a ticket if they think you are being "reckless", that is, weaving in and out of traffic. That's get you points on your license and a trip to see the magistrate.

What you mean lightweight mine is a 600 and 174 kg dry weight. Looking into upgrading to a s4rs 1000 or 998 or something And it is 177kg. Ours is maybe 3kg under

The specs on my bike say 370lbs or 168 kg. That's pretty light for a 620 cc motorcycle. Maybe Ducati shaved some weight from 1996, since they are not the same motorcycle. A M620 is a different model than a M600.

For comparison, an average Honda CB600 is around 380 lbs and average Harley fatboy is 750 lbs.

So, yeah, a 2003 Ducati M620 is light weight

Wow didn't know that. Should of checked 620 first. Just assumed 600 being less than 620 n also 1996 wouldn't b heavier.
