Honda VTR weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. 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 VTR weight FAQ

What is the Honda VTR dry weight?

The available dry weight is 354.9 lb (161 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.

Is the Honda VTR lighter or heavier than other Honda naked bikes?

It is comparatively light for this Honda category. The model lands near the 29th percentile for weight in the compatible dataset.

How much does a full tank add to the Honda VTR?

Based on the supplied 3.17 US gal (12 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 19.7 lb (8.9 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.

What is the combined Honda VTR and rider weight?

Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 534.9 lb (242.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.

Is the listed Honda VTR weight ready to ride?

The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 374.7 lb (169.9 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.

How heavy is the Honda VTR after filling the fuel tank?

Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 374.7 lb (169.9 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.

What is the Honda VTR torque per 100 lb of bike weight?

Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 4.57 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 many cc does the Honda VTR have per pound?

How does the Honda VTR compare with the median Honda naked bike weight?

Compared with the median Honda naked bike weight of 397.7 lb (180.4 kg), the model is roughly 42.8 lb (19.4 kg) lighter.
