Honda XL700V C-ABS 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 XL700V C-ABS weight FAQ
What is the Honda XL700V C-ABS dry weight?
The available dry weight is 487.2 lb (221 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Honda XL700V C-ABS lighter or heavier than other Honda enduro/off-road motorcycles?
Compared with similar Hondas in this dataset, it is heavier than about 93.8% of 24 enduro/off-road motorcycles using the same weight basis.
How much does a full tank add to the Honda XL700V C-ABS?
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 XL700V C-ABS and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 667.2 lb (302.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Honda XL700V C-ABS power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 12.13 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.
Is the listed Honda XL700V C-ABS weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 516 lb (234 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How much heavier is the Honda XL700V C-ABS with a full tank?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 516 lb (234 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Honda XL700V C-ABS total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 5.9% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.
How does Honda XL700V C-ABS torque compare with its weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 9.08 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
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.
