Honda Magna 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 Magna 250 weight FAQ
How heavy is the Honda Magna 250?
Listed dry weight is 377 lb (171 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.

How much does the Honda Magna 250 fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 2.91 US gal (11 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 18.1 lb (8.2 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
