And I can believe the 125 comparison .. my 750 turned into a 350 2-stroke after it got carbon wheels.

Superb, in all the right ways.
Maybe a tad pricey to fit my own preferred compromises, but right on the money, as it were.

And yes, I weigh mine by adding bathroom scales readings from both wheels.
Purists could raise the other wheel on a plank of the same height, but its unlikely to be significant.
The difficulty is holding the bike steady without affecting the reading, but its do-able.
Afterthought .. I guess you could paddock-stand the other end ...?
My improved method will involve two cheap, high range, electronic "spring"-balances from china, some webbing slings and a stout garage beam. Possibly a chain hoist too, but that's being fussy.
Food for thought for the weight conscious perhaps ?
Either way, you can add the two readings to get the total mass, because the balances are in parallel.

Ermm, with my luck I stand a very good chance of dropping it, so Slobs' MOT centre idea is looking favourite for now - and thanks for the kind comments
