What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Kawasaki KX 250F is heavier than about 71.7% of 30 Kawasaki motocross bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 1.61 US gal (6.09 L) to 2.1 US gal (7.94 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 10 lb (4.5 kg) to 13 lb (5.9 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Kawasaki 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 KX 250F.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 11.66 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
