Across 5 covered model years from 2017 to 2023, the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 381.6 lb (173.1 kg) to 385.8 lb (175 kg).
Kawasaki Versys-X 300 weight overview
This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. 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 Versys-X 300 weight FAQ
How heavy is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300?
Listed dry weight is 381.6 lb (173.1 kg) to 385.8 lb (175 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 heavy compared with other Kawasaki allround models?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative dry weight is around the 38th percentile among 12 compatible Kawasaki allround models.
Does the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.49 US gal (17 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 27.9 lb (12.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Kawasaki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 565.8 lb (256.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 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 409.5 lb (185.8 kg) to 413.7 lb (187.7 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
How much heavier is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 with a full tank?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 409.5 lb (185.8 kg) to 413.7 lb (187.7 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 4.97 lb-ft per 100 lb to 5.03 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How many cc does the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 have per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 0.77 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
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.
