What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Suzuki GSX-R 750 (reduced effect) is heavier than about 61.1% of 27 Suzuki classic motorcycles with compatible weight data.
The listed fuel tank capacity is 5.02 US gal (19 L) to 5.55 US gal (21 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 31.2 lb (14.2 kg) to 34.5 lb (15.6 kg); this fuel mass is already part of a wet/running weight figure.
The supplied data shows model-year weight differences, so the safest figure is the one attached to your exact year rather than a single all-years number.
Where both power and weight are available, the model works out to 19.38 hp per 100 lb to 22.57 hp per 100 lb. This makes cross-size comparisons more meaningful than raw horsepower by itself.
