What is the real wieght of a 2004 CBR 1000RR? I stipped it down as much as possible, but I am not sure if getting under 400lbs is a reality.

"i" before "e" except after "g" or when sounded like "a" as in Neighbor or weigh.
or
Spell check

as far as advice for your question,
1. you could always empty all the fluids out and dont put any gas in it. that will shave a few lbs.
2. some lightweight carbon fiber wheels if you got an extra $4500 laying around helps,
3. replace everything with carbon fiber parts,
4. Stop sitting on the bike when you weigh it?? hahah

honestly i have no idea... i am just bored at work

"i" before "e" except after "C" smarty. Or YOU could spell check!!

Both of your examples are before "G" as well. Perhaps some new examples? Ceiling?

Now to answer the original question.

Is it possible? I'm sure with enough money or determination it is. Probably not if you are going to keep it streetable though.

Think of it this way, it's easier to find 10 places to lose one pound than it is to find one place to lose 10lbs. Look at all the small stuff. Passenger pegs. Lights, light wiring, CF rims, headlight assembly, rear cowl instead of the passenger seat, or better yet full race plastics. No mirrors, no bar end weights (is that spelled right? LOL), frame/spool sliders while saving the body work and frame do add weight.
How about losing some weight yourself? THAT would probably be the cheapest way (assuming you are overweight at all).
520 conversion with aluminum rear sprocket? No rear fender, no rear hugger, only the necessary switches on the bike, lighter exhaust, etc.

Good luck though......... 60lbs on a bike is a LOT of weight to lose.

i was under the impression that the dry weight / wieght / wate of the 07' is 388 lbs. I have seen that from a couple separate sources, independant from one another.
