Across the 2015, 2016 and 2017 model years, the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 474 lb (215 kg) to 476.2 lb (216 kg).
Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS weight overview
At this weight, footing and parking technique matter. Once moving, geometry and balance can disguise the mass, but you still have to manage the full weight at walking speed. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS weight FAQ
What is the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS dry weight?
The available dry weight is 474 lb (215 kg) to 476.2 lb (216 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Which Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2015-2017 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS?
Based on the supplied 5.28 US gal (20 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 32.8 lb (14.9 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 654 lb (296.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 14.56 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.
Is the listed Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 506.8 lb (229.9 kg) to 509 lb (230.9 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How much heavier is the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS with a full tank?
The page calculates about 506.8 lb (229.9 kg) to 509 lb (230.9 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Suzuki curb-weight number.
What is the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 10.69 lb-ft per 100 lb to 10.74 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How large is the Suzuki V-Strom 650XT ABS engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 1.35 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Suzuki Cycles website.
