Optimal weight? As light as possible.
That is the short glib answer but the useful answer is this one:
- highest weight you can still lift by yourself.
Frankly, I don't know what that is for myself even. I was able to lift my loaded DR650SE and I was able to lift my unloaded KTM 990 but can I lift a KTM 1190 Adventure R with hard panniers, the option I am considering next? I don't know..
A little off-topic but are there any aids for lifting bikes? Jacks? Harnesses? That might change the answer to this as well...
