Lightest snow bike?

What's your machine weight? I'm curious of real world weight figures.

My machines:
1) 289lbs 2002 yz250 w/2014 Timbersled mountain horse short track (121, 1.75 lugs) full stock tank. Had a trail tech tto installed. I have since added a thermobob 3, pat carb heat and panthera e start so it likely over 300lbs now.

2) 308lbs 2003 yz250 w/2018 camso DTS 129 (2.5" lugs) has thermobob 3 and pst carb heat, and a trail tech vapor. Weighed with a full tank of fuel.

Friends bikes I've helped weigh:

3) 401lbs 200?4 snow hawk 503 stock with Enduro engineering hand guards and the stock tank full.

4)by memory 335lbs 2006 husaberg 650 w/2014 left hand drive timbersled mountain horse short track tunnel with rail extensions and a 137x2" track. The bike was stock, but I don't remember how much fuel was in it.

5) by memory 315lbs 1987 kx500 w/ 2016 timbersled mountain horse short track. It had a fairly full stock fuel tank and a full 2.5 gal tunnel tank when weighed.

I've also weighed some sleds but this is the snow bike section so I won't get too deep into them. The lightest one was a 19 poo 850 162 3" lug 3" pitch. Can't remember how much fuel was in it. 475lbs well I day it's the lightest but I guess the 1979 skidoo elan was 300 lbs even but that's kinda cheating ha!

Most all these weights include 5-9lbs of straps

2019 450 XC-F & 2021 ARO3, fully fueled including the Timbersled fuel can (full), lunch, 2L water, tools, 30' rope, 2 carabiners, spare goggle lens & glasses, small first aid kit, booster pack, maybe a couple other small things, so for me a true ready to ride weight. 392.08lbs - Wheel kit 16.6lbs = 375.48lbs

We have scaled all the brands , Yeti is significantly lighter, then T sled sits in the middle and then CMX which is 34 lbs heavier than Yeti and is now the heaviest brand made .there are pros and cons with each however weight is everything when were talking about floating on powder snow.

It seemed like a good idea at the time

2019 ktm 350 sxf w 2018 yeti 129 ss. as shown full of fuel 276 lbs. with a 165lb rider, this thing was lethal.
yep the SS is a Magic kit, huge track speeds , we stretch and build the 137SS and is a powder monster. Have 3 in the shop right now

Wow! Those 350s with yetis are light. I bet they are a blast
Its not the 350 in fact the new compact 450 motor is even lighter than the 2020 350 which have a very tall cylinder and more top weight motor , Its the Yeti that makes these so good.
