The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 265.9 lb (120.6 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What does the Yamaha IT 250 E weigh with a full tank?
The page calculates about 265.9 lb (120.6 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Yamaha curb-weight number.
What is the Yamaha IT 250 E torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 7.94 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.

Where will I notice the Yamaha IT 250 E weight most?
The weight itself is unlikely to be the main difficulty. Rider reach, steering lock and where the mass sits may matter more at walking pace.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
