Kawasaki 620 Duke weight FAQ
How heavy is the Kawasaki 620 Duke?
Listed dry weight is 328.5 lb (149 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
How heavy is the Kawasaki 620 Duke with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 508.5 lb (230.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Kawasaki 620 Duke dry weight as curb weight?
No. Dry weight excludes at least some operating fluids, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will weigh more.
How large is the Kawasaki 620 Duke engine for its weight?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.85 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Will the Kawasaki 620 Duke feel heavy at low speed?
It is most likely to feel heavy while stopped, backing up or on a slope rather than once settled at normal riding speed. Seat height and center of gravity matter a lot.
