Across 7 covered model years from 1994 to 2001, the Kawasaki GTR 1000 motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 568.8 lb (258 kg) to 595.2 lb (270 kg).
Kawasaki GTR 1000 weight overview
The scale number is high enough that parking and low-speed balance deserve real consideration. Once the bike leans too far, recovering it takes much more effort than on a light machine. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you
Kawasaki GTR 1000 weight FAQ
What is the Kawasaki GTR 1000 dry weight?
The available dry weight is 568.8 lb (258 kg) to 595.2 lb (270 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Which Kawasaki GTR 1000 years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Kawasaki GTR 1000?
Based on the supplied 7.53 US gal (28.5 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 46.8 lb (21.2 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Kawasaki GTR 1000 and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 775.2 lb (351.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Kawasaki GTR 1000 power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 15.62 hp per 100 lb to 17.23 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.
Is the listed Kawasaki GTR 1000 weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 615.6 lb (279.2 kg) to 642.1 lb (291.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Kawasaki GTR 1000 after filling the fuel tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 615.6 lb (279.2 kg) to 642.1 lb (291.2 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Kawasaki GTR 1000 have per 100 lb?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 8.26 lb-ft per 100 lb to 11.15 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
What is the Kawasaki GTR 1000 displacement per pound?
The available figures work out to 1.67 cc per lb to 1.75 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
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.
