Not sure but a good question. Since final assembly is done in China for the BMW it would go to reason they are.

The biggest disappointment for me is the bike gained 60lbs over the TE630. My 630 weighs 50lbs more than the KLX and you can really feel it.
.
• TR 650 Strada, unladen weight: 168 kg (370.37 lbs) / weight fully fuelled: 186 kg (410.06 lbs). (US-Version: 374.78 lbs / 414.47 lbs)
• TR 650 Terra, unladen weight: 166 kg (365.96 lbs) / weight fully fuelled: 184 kg (405.65 lbs). (US-Version n.a.)
• TR 650 Terra without ABS, unladen weight: 165 kg (363,76 lbs) / weight fully fuelled: 183 kg (403.44 lbs). (US-Version: 368.17 lbs / 410.06 lbs)
I'm actually becoming more interested in the Strada the more i learn about it, key will be if they can bring it in at a decent price as you said. I had my heart set on doing up a Kawi 450 and putting plates on it but if the Strada can compete at an overall price point (17" rims for the 450 + light kit and tags + price of bike) I might have to put some serious thought to the Husky.

Confused here, did you mean to say that the TE630 weighs 50lbs LESS than the KLX ? The Terra and Strada are showing curb weight around 405-410 which would only be about 15-20lbs more than the KLX.

Now that we're all on the same page and i look like an complete moron i'm suddenly alot less interested in the Strada. 400+ lbs for a 650 single is a fat pig, what is that thing made out of ? Cast Iron ?

Oh durr.... i'm an idiot. For some reason i was thinking of my Ninja's weight in place of the KLX. Sounds like i'm the one that needs to stop drinking or start drinking more.

The KLR is even more stout. On the road that would likely be an asset. Off the road that would be YOUR ASSet.
