I am 6'4" and 220 but I would guess the average height is 5'10" and the average weight is 275.

My doctor was giving me **** just the other day. Told me I should get down around 200. Right now I'm 225. Personally I like the extra momentum, makes it easier to get on the crowded trains, just lean into it.

207 huh...that include the wishful thinking of all those who have gained weight and won't admit to it too??

6'1" and after sitting behind a desk for the last 14 years, to close to 300 for comfort.

I'm thinking the average age of the HD rider is getting up there, so I'd guess 230 to 240.

5'8", 240-ish.

Yup, I'm a tubby.

[edit]Since most dudes seem to be putting up pant sizes, I can still fit into my size 38 501 button flies. My XXL shirts are a tad tight in the shoulders and arms, though.

56, 5'10", 180, 34" waist. Getting to where I have to starve myself to keep my weight where it's at, let alone lose any.

I was entering my local dealership a while back and passed a group of heavyweights, all of whom seemed to be in their 50s, and their plus-sized womenfolk. I heard one of them wisecrack to another that I could stand to eat a few hamburgers. I just laughed to myself. Yes, I'm skinny, 5'11" and 150 lbs., but I'm also 72 years old and still riding about every day. With all the fat they were dragging around, beating up their hearts, they will be lucky to see 72, let alone still be riding motorcycles.

If I told you my weight and height, I'd lose all my online friends...

All my other friends stopped hangin with me a long time ago. I need you guys/gals. I will say that I can still pick up a 3.0L V6 Ford engine, and toss it 3'. My old record of lifting weight was a full blown 400 C.I. Olds engine, that I tossed into the back of an F250 Ford pickup. It hit just passed the wheels, bounced up and hit the back of the cab before settling down. That was about 15 yrs ago.

I can still walk 150' with 364lbs on my 'back'

Very relevant point. Fudge factor of +/10% heavier never lighter than confessed allows for a range of our factual 207 to a possible 227 pound average.

We wouldn't lie about our weight would we??? Shameful!!!
