Honda CN 250 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.

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.

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.

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