Honda VTX1300S weight overview
The scale number is high enough that parking and low-speed balance deserve real consideration. Once the bike leans too far, recovering it takes much more effort than on a light machine. 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 VTX1300S weight FAQ
What is the Honda VTX1300S dry weight?
The available dry weight is 661.4 lb (300 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Honda VTX1300S lighter or heavier than other Honda custom/cruiser motorcycles?
Compared with similar Hondas in this dataset, it is heavier than about 73.5% of 51 custom/cruiser motorcycles using the same weight basis.
How much does a full tank add to the Honda VTX1300S?
Based on the supplied 4.76 US gal (18 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 29.6 lb (13.4 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Honda VTX1300S and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 841.4 lb (381.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Honda VTX1300S power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 11.19 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 66th percentile within the compatible Honda custom / cruiser power-to-weight comparison.
Is the listed Honda VTX1300S weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 691 lb (313.4 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Honda VTX1300S after filling the fuel tank?
The page calculates about 691 lb (313.4 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 VTX1300S torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 13.72 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 VTX1300S engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 1.98 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
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.
