So I'm going to say the average weight is 250+
Agreed!
I'm 6ft and weigh 195 (32 waist pants, large shirt extremely loose in the stomach but snug in the arms and across chest and shoulders). One of the guys I ride with is an inch shorter and says he weighs the same, but he wears 3XL shirts and 42 waist pants. I seriously doubt he comes in at less than 240-250.
Same dude tried to put on my large Icon jacket when he decided to go leather. It was like watching a watermelon try to squeeze into a rubber. Poor guy bought online and had to ship back twice to finally get one that fit his fat a$$.

Agreed with another winter post. I'll play along. I can always add another post count.

6'5" 215

5'8" @235 been there for 40 years. Atleast I'm relieable. If I could walk more than a half mile I could probably make it to 5' 6"

5'9" of twisted steel and sex appeal. Er, I mean 170 lbs.

Still in size 34 jeans. I stopped drinking beer a year ago and dropped 30 lbs, give or take an ounce. So I may look svelte, but I'm no fun whatsoever.

6'3", 210. Would like to get back to 195, but too many tasty carbohydrates out there, and too many hours stuck inside on the frozen tundra.

Gerald Ford bragged that he was the same weight in his 50s that he was in college. What he didn't mention was he went from a 32 inch waist to a 38. It's all about the fat content!

There were a ton of Harleys on the road this SuperBowl weekend. And I gotta say, for the first time I noticed how fat almost all those dudes were. I mean, almost to the point of ridiculousness.

Quite a few were riding in a way that made it pretty clear they wanted to be seen as badarse. However, most of em just looked fatarse, truth be told.

I'd guess the average weight is at least 2 bills. I'm 5'9'' 185, so I'm not far off. haha. Holding on to a 33 to 34 inch waist though.

I want to learn how to RIDE like a badass! How does one do that? Can you teach me??!!

My guess would have been around under 200... got to take the women into the equation.

Just follow the instructions in the link and work on your scowl. Lots and lots of scowling.
How to ride like a bad *** without really trying

Oh, and just who's tabulating all this height & weight data people are giving? The OP?
