12ish pounds according to my bathroom scale when I checked. I don't have a postage scale, so thats as close as I could measure.

I just weighed my battery from a '05 12R. Came in around 11.8lbs. The race battery from Buell looks really nice except for the $$. I'm waiting for one to show up from ballistic, they claim 1.8lbs but we'll see.

I'm looking at Shorai when it's time to get a new battery. Shorai sponsors RodRob's 1190RS that Shawn Higbee races. That's good enough for me. They're smaller than stock yet lightweight, powerful and affordable.

Thanks fellas. Bought the Ballistic. 10+ lbs off the bike for $149 shipped was impossible to pass up. Since mine sees some street riding , I just hope it's up to the task.

Don't forget to let us know how it works out for street riding. Mine finally showed up for the race bike. I was surprised, the box it came in weighed more than the battery. Going to test it at Infineon this weekend.

Bott,
How do you like your ballistic battery?
I ended up with the 12cell and couldn't be happier with the performance/weight of it.
