Across the 1999 and 2006 model years, the Honda Foresight motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 350.3 lb (158.9 kg).
Honda Foresight weight overview
The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. 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 Foresight weight FAQ
What is the Honda Foresight dry weight?
The available dry weight is 350.3 lb (158.9 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Honda Foresight lighter or heavier than other Honda scooters?
Compared with similar Hondas in this dataset, it is heavier than about 75% of 70 scooters using the same weight basis.
Which Honda Foresight years have different weight specs?
There is not enough comparable model-year weight data to determine a year-to-year change. A usable weight figure is available for 2006. No usable dry/wet figure was supplied for 1999.
How much does a full tank add to the Honda Foresight?
Based on the supplied 3.17 US gal (12 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 19.7 lb (8.9 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Honda Foresight and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 530.3 lb (240.5 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Honda Foresight weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 370 lb (167.8 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How much heavier is the Honda Foresight with a full tank?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 370 lb (167.8 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Honda Foresight total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 5.6% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.
How does Honda Foresight torque compare with its weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 4.42 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications.
