Kendada,
one small question, which might sound noob to you. Why are the middleweight bikes called, "middleweight". As far as the weight (dry or wet) is concerned, I didnt find any big difference (a SBK probably 5 kgs more than a SS) between them. So what makes them called middleweight?

e.g. my beloved CBR600F, a well known middleweight from Honda, weighs almost the same (~200 kilos) as its big bro fireblade.

Thanks in advance.

Abhishek
