The frame also carries the bulk of the engine's 3 quarts of oil. This feels great on a cold day, but the heat can get to a sit-down rider's left thigh in warmer conditions. ATK has, however, taken precautions: The fuel tank has threaded inserts to allow the mounting of a heat shield. | The frame also carries the bulk of the engine's 3 quarts of oil.

The electric-start 605 does not mask its claimed 280 pounds (260 for the kick-start model). On the plus side, the weight is well centered and low. Stability is great and we never experienced any headshake. Quick side-to-side turns require an average amount of effort, on par with most big Thumpers. Sliding has never been easier, the low seat height allowing you to really get "into" the bike while hacking the back end out. | The electric-start 605 does not mask its claimed 280 pounds (260 for the kick-start model).
