About 3-4 decent sized guys can move it no problem. Thats what me and my friends did with my DE.

When you go pick it up make sure you tell them that you want it left on a pallet, that way it makes it easier to grab on too. After that three people shjould be able to lift it with ease, im sure the engine is probably only a round a few hundred pounds.

Someone weighed one before, can't remember what is was though, without tranny I'd say no more then 250lbs.
