Honda CN 250 weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

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.

Honda CN 250 weight FAQ

How heavy is the Honda CN 250?

Listed dry weight is 343.9 lb (156 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 Honda CN 250 heavy compared with other Honda scooters?

Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 66th weight percentile in its Honda category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.

Does the Honda CN 250 weight change by model year?

Not in the usable weight data on this page. Across the covered 1997, 1998, 2000 years, the supplied weight figure remains the same where comparable values are available.

How much does the Honda CN 250 fuel weigh?

The listed tank capacity is 3.17 US gal (12 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 19.7 lb (8.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.

How heavy is the Honda CN 250 with an average-size rider?

A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 523.9 lb (237.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.

Can I treat the Honda CN 250 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 363.6 lb (164.9 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.

What is the estimated Honda CN 250 weight with a full tank of gas?

Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 363.6 lb (164.9 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.

What is the Honda CN 250 torque per 100 lb of bike weight?

The calculated torque-to-weight range is 4.4 lb-ft per 100 lb to 4.5 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.

How many cc does the Honda CN 250 have per pound?
