Honda Transalp weight overview
At this weight, footing and parking technique matter. Once moving, geometry and balance can disguise the mass, but you still have to manage the full weight at walking speed. 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 Transalp weight FAQ
What is the Honda Transalp dry weight?
The available dry weight is 480.6 lb (218 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Which Honda Transalp years have different weight specs?
There is not enough comparable model-year weight data to determine a year-to-year change. A usable weight figure is available for 2013. No usable dry/wet figure was supplied for 2024, 2025.
How much does a full tank add to the Honda Transalp?
Based on the supplied 4.62 US gal (17.5 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 28.7 lb (13 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Honda Transalp and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 660.6 lb (299.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Honda Transalp weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 509.4 lb (231 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Honda Transalp after filling the fuel tank?
The page calculates about 509.4 lb (231 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Honda curb-weight number.
What is the Honda Transalp torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 9.21 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How large is the Honda Transalp engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 1.42 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Where will I notice the Honda Transalp weight most?
The main challenge is low-speed and stationary handling. Once moving the chassis may disguise the mass, but backing up or holding it on a slope still means managing the full weight.
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.
