Honda NSR 125 weight overview
This sits in a fairly light weight range. That does not guarantee easy handling, but it reduces the sheer mass you have to manage at a stop. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Honda NSR 125 weight FAQ
How heavy is the Honda NSR 125?
Listed dry weight is 286.6 lb (130 kg) to 291 lb (132 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 Honda NSR 125 heavy compared with other Honda sport bikes?
It is on the lighter side in this dataset. Its representative dry weight sits around the 12th weight percentile among 42 Honda sport bikes, meaning most compatible models are heavier.
Does the Honda NSR 125 weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Honda NSR 125 fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 3.43 US gal (13 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 21.4 lb (9.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Honda NSR 125 with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 471 lb (213.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Honda NSR 125 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 308 lb (139.7 kg) to 312.4 lb (141.7 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
How much of the Honda NSR 125 total weight comes from fuel?
Based on the available weight basis, a full tank of gasoline represents about 7.3% to 7.5% of the motorcycle’s weight.
How does Honda NSR 125 torque compare with its weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 2.97 lb-ft per 100 lb to 3.8 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
What is the Honda NSR 125 engine-size-to-weight ratio?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 0.43 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Honda Powersports website.
