Default lightweight street sv

I've done numerous searches, but can't find this info. I've been planning to buy a supermoto to have a lightweight bike for the East Tennessee mountains to go along with my RC51, but I wonder how light an SV can be made. I suppose the muffler and wheels are the only heavy items that can be easily changed. I used to race a Hawk GT, and know the SVs have pretty much replaced them on the track, so there is probably a lot of stuff available. I would appreciate any info. Thanks.

It means a lot of expense to lighten an SV, really... Wheels and exhaust, subframe maybe, aluminium sprocket, then you're into stuff like titanium bolts which seriously adds up... Or chopping bits off If you get one of the models with a steel rear subframe you can shed a fair bit of weight there too.
