Ducati 250 Diana weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

The weight is relatively manageable, so the bike should demand less effort than a heavyweight machine when backing up, parking or making slow-speed corrections. 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

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Ducati 250 Diana is lighter than about 87.5% of 52 Ducati sport bikes with compatible weight data.
The listed fuel tank capacity is 3.43 US gal (13 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 21.4 lb (9.7 kg), which helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
Where both power and weight are available, the model works out to 6.38 hp per 100 lb. This makes cross-size comparisons more meaningful than raw horsepower by itself.
