Kawasaki Concours weight overview
This is firmly on the heavier side. The real penalty is not necessarily normal riding; it is low-speed work, awkward parking and moving the bike around manually. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Kawasaki Concours weight FAQ
How heavy is the Kawasaki Concours?
Listed dry weight is 595 lb (269.9 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Does the Kawasaki Concours weight change by model year?
Not in the usable weight data on this page. Across the covered 2005-2006 years, the supplied weight figure remains the same where comparable values are available.
How much does the Kawasaki Concours fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 7.5 US gal (28.38 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 46.6 lb (21.1 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Kawasaki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Kawasaki Concours with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 775 lb (351.5 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Kawasaki Concours 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 641.6 lb (291 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
How much heavier is the Kawasaki Concours with a full tank?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 641.6 lb (291 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Kawasaki Concours torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 12.15 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How many cc does the Kawasaki Concours have per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.68 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Will the Kawasaki Concours feel heavy at low speed?
It is heavy enough that smart parking matters. Avoid situations where you have to paddle it backward uphill or catch it after it leans too far.
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 Kawasaki website.
