Suzuki V-Strom 650X weight overview
The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki V-Strom 650X?
Based on the supplied 5.81 US gal (22 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 36.1 lb (16.4 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Suzuki V-Strom 650X and rider weight?

Is the listed Suzuki V-Strom 650X weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 470.4 lb (213.4 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
