Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer weight overview
This sits in heavyweight territory. Riders should think about garage movement, backing up, surface slope and passenger/luggage load as much as the on-road feel. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer weight FAQ
How heavy is the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer?
Listed dry weight is 626.1 lb (284 kg) to 632.7 lb (287 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 Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer heavy compared with other Harley-Davidson custom/cruiser motorcycles?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative dry weight is around the 60th percentile among 51 compatible Harley-Davidson custom/cruiser motorcycles.
Does the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.2 US gal (15.9 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 26.1 lb (11.8 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Harley-Davidson curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 806.1 lb (365.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer dry weight as curb weight?
No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 652.2 lb (295.8 kg) to 658.8 lb (298.8 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
What is the estimated Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer weight with a full tank of gas?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 652.2 lb (295.8 kg) to 658.8 lb (298.8 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 10.06 lb-ft per 100 lb to 10.17 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How many cc does the Harley-Davidson 1340 Softail Springer have per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 2.11 cc per lb to 2.14 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Harley-Davidson website.
