Suzuki GN 250 weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is on the lighter side for a road motorcycle. The advantage is usually most obvious while parking, maneuvering at walking speed and moving the bike around off the engine. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Suzuki GN 250 is lighter than about 91.7% of 18 Suzuki naked bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 2.72 US gal (10.3 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 16.9 lb (7.7 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Suzuki curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every GN 250.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 5.93 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.

Suzuki GN 250 weight FAQ

How much does the Suzuki GN 250 weigh?

The source data gives 284.4 lb (129 kg) to 286.6 lb (130 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.

How does the Suzuki GN 250 weight compare with similar Suzukis?

Relatively light. On a model-level comparison, it is lighter than about 91.7% of 18 Suzuki naked bikes with the same weight basis.

Are all Suzuki GN 250 model years the same weight?

There are year-to-year differences in the supplied data. The earliest covered year is used as the baseline, with later changed values shown separately above.

What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Suzuki GN 250?

A full tank works out to about 16.9 lb (7.7 kg) from the listed 2.72 US gal (10.3 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.

What does the Suzuki GN 250 weigh with a 180 lb rider?

The approximate combined total is 464.4 lb (210.6 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.

Is the Suzuki GN 250 strong for its weight?

The calculated range is 5.93 hp per 100 lb. This ratio is usually more informative for acceleration comparisons than horsepower alone. That places it around the 19th percentile within the compatible Suzuki naked bike power-to-weight comparison.

How much heavier will the Suzuki GN 250 be than its dry weight?

Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 301.3 lb (136.7 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.

What is the Suzuki GN 250 torque per 100 lb of bike weight?

Available data gives 4.12 lb-ft per 100 lb to 5.08 lb-ft per 100 lb. That ratio helps explain how strong the engine is relative to the bike’s mass, especially at lower speeds.

How many cc does the Suzuki GN 250 have per pound?

The model has about 0.86 cc per lb to 0.88 cc per lb in the available data. This simply shows how much engine displacement there is for each pound of motorcycle weight.

Official information note

Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
