Ducati 749 Dark 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.

Ducati 749 Dark weight FAQ
What is the Ducati 749 Dark dry weight?

Which Ducati 749 Dark years have different weight specs?

How much does a full tank add to the Ducati 749 Dark?
Based on the supplied 4.09 US gal (15.5 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 25.5 lb (11.5 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Ducati 749 Dark and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 596.7 lb (270.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Ducati 749 Dark weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 442.1 lb (200.5 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Ducati 749 Dark after filling the fuel tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 442.1 lb (200.5 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.

Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 14.51 lb-ft per 100 lb to 14.92 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.

The available figures work out to 1.8 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.
