For the 1983 model year, the Suzuki TS 185 ER motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 189.6 lb (86 kg).
Suzuki TS 185 ER weight overview
Its low overall mass should be most noticeable off the throttle: moving it by hand, backing out of a parking space and managing stop-start riding should take less effort than on a heavy road bike. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 201.8 lb (91.5 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What is the Suzuki TS 185 ER full-tank weight estimate?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 201.8 lb (91.5 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
How many cc does the Suzuki TS 185 ER have per pound?
