What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Suzuki GW250 is lighter than about 51.4% of 36 Suzuki allround models with compatible weight data.
The listed fuel tank capacity is 3.5 US gal (13.25 L) to 3.51 US gal (13.3 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 21.8 lb (9.9 kg) to 21.8 lb (9.9 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.
