Yamaha Versity 300 weight overview
This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Listed dry weight is 361.6 lb (164 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 Versity 300 heavy compared with other Yamaha scooters?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 77th weight percentile in its Yamaha category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
