Yamaha GTS 1000 weight overview
This is firmly on the heavier side. The real penalty is not necessarily normal riding; it is low-speed work, awkward parking and moving the bike around manually.

Yamaha GTS 1000 weight FAQ
How heavy is the Yamaha GTS 1000?
Listed dry weight is 542.3 lb (246 kg) to 546.7 lb (248 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Is the Yamaha GTS 1000 heavy compared with other Yamaha motorcycles?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 94th weight percentile in its Yamaha category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
