I'm doing a new build in a week or so, the bike im using comes in at a whopping 44lbs and the HT kit is something around 19lbs I think I'm going to use a hairpin saddle and im guessing around 5lbs for that and not to mention the weight of the tank when it's full, so somewhere around 73 lbs I think is too much to be lugging up and down four flights of stairs because im in a high crime area. What do your bikes weigh?
 
i could bet my bike to be 70 pounds without a motor kit...but im sure an 80cc would move it pretty well..
 
My Trek weighs about 50lbs. My trike weighs about 125lbs. I try not to carry either one too much.
 
so somewhere around 73 lbs I think is too much to be lugging up and down four flights of stairs because im in a high crime area. What do your bikes weigh?

4 flights of stairs would be a struggle!!
Plus the fuels smell indoors..... and everybody knows the HT engine gets kinda drippy. (some sort of dropcloth to protect your floor would be needed)

Storing outdoors & High Crime:
Good bike locks will slow a thief down. I'd use more than one.
Lock it to something not easily broken or cut! (remember, they cut Tom's bikerack to steal his bike) http://www.motoredbikes.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15140&d=1234454033

I'm sure others will have anti-theft ideas for you.

My bikes weigh around 70lbs.
My BikeE weighed around 40lbs. with the engine kit. I still would NOT want to drag it upstairs! http://www.motoredbikes.com//attachment.php?attachmentid=9979&d=1218403464
 
Yeah I have no garage at the moment so i have to carry mine up my deck stairs. I can really feel the extra weight on it. Probably 70 lbs.
