The supplied figures span 518.1 lb (235 kg) for wet/running weight and 423.3 lb (192 kg) to 467.4 lb (212 kg) for dry weight across the years in this page. Wet weight is the better guide to what you actually manage on the road.

It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 57th percentile among 15 compatible Ducati allround models.
Does the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S 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 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 5.28 US gal (20 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 32.8 lb (14.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Ducati curb-weight calculation.
