Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Harley-Davidson VRSCAW V-Rod is lighter than about 52.4% of 168 Harley-Davidson custom/cruiser motorcycles with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.99 US gal (18.9 L) to 5 US gal (18.92 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 31 lb (14.1 kg) to 31.1 lb (14.1 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Harley-Davidson 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 VRSCAW V-Rod.
