Heavy enough that I could lift it alone but it was a strain.
330ish sounds about right.

About the same as a 305 Honda engine.

What’s most amazing to me is how light the frame is all things considered.
The rear wheel and swing arm assembly feel heavier than the whole frame!

Think a Rocket rear wheel is made of dark matter they are seriously heavy man I have often wondered if this was intentional by triumph ?? does it act as a fly wheel type energy store ? surely it would improve the performance to fit a lighter rear wheel ?

No doubt! The loss of a 50ish lb gyro alone would seriously help tip in and left-right transitions.
