A full tank is not weightless: the 4.36 US gal (16.5 L) to 4.62 US gal (17.5 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 27.1 lb (12.3 kg) to 28.7 lb (13 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Ducati 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 Monster 1200 R.
