Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler weight FAQ

How heavy is the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler?

Listed dry weight is 363.8 lb (165 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.

Is the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler heavy compared with other Triumph allround models?

It is on the lighter side in this dataset. Its representative dry weight sits around the 7th weight percentile among 21 Triumph allround models, meaning most compatible models are heavier.

Does the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler weight change by model year?

Not in the usable weight data on this page. Across the covered 1963-1969 years, the supplied weight figure remains the same where comparable values are available.

How much does the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler fuel weigh?

The listed tank capacity is 2.5 US gal (9.46 L) to 4 US gal (15.14 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 15.5 lb (7 kg) to 24.9 lb (11.3 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Triumph curb-weight calculation.

How heavy is the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler with an average-size rider?

A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 543.8 lb (246.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.

Can I treat the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler dry weight as curb weight?

No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 379.3 lb (172 kg) to 388.6 lb (176.3 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.

What does the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler weigh with a full tank?

Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 379.3 lb (172 kg) to 388.6 lb (176.3 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.

What is the Triumph Bonneville T120C Street Scrambler displacement per pound?

Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.78 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
