The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Is the listed Harley-Davidson FXCSTS Softail Screamer weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 512.9 lb (232.7 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
