Honda XL 650 V Transalp weight FAQ

Which Honda XL 650 V Transalp years have different weight specs?

How much does a full tank add to the Honda XL 650 V Transalp?
Based on the supplied 5.02 US gal (19 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 31.2 lb (14.2 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Honda XL 650 V Transalp and rider weight?

Is the listed Honda XL 650 V Transalp weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 452.3 lb (205.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What is the estimated Honda XL 650 V Transalp weight with a full tank of gas?

Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 9.63 lb-ft per 100 lb to 9.81 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
