Ducati Monster 900 weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is middleweight territory: substantial enough to feel planted, but still well short of heavyweight touring and large-cruiser mass. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Ducati Monster 900 is heavier than about 81.8% of 33 Ducati naked bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.23 US gal (16 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Ducati curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every Monster 900.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 19.12 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.

Ducati Monster 900 weight FAQ

How much does the Ducati Monster 900 weigh?

The source data gives 403.4 lb (183 kg) to 407.9 lb (185 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.

Are all Ducati Monster 900 model years the same weight?

There are year-to-year differences in the supplied data. The earliest covered year is used as the baseline, with later changed values shown separately above.

What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Ducati Monster 900?

A full tank works out to about 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) from the listed 4.23 US gal (16 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.
