Honda Silver Wing weight FAQ
What does the Honda Silver Wing weigh ready to ride?
The supplied figures span 531.1 lb (240.9 kg) to 544.5 lb (247 kg) for wet/running weight and 480.6 lb (218 kg) to 539.9 lb (244.9 kg) for dry weight across the years in this page. Wet weight is the better guide to what you actually manage on the road.
Is the Honda Silver Wing heavy compared with other Honda scooters?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 95th weight percentile in its Honda category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Honda Silver Wing 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 Honda Silver Wing fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.2 US gal (15.89 L) to 4.23 US gal (16 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 26.1 lb (11.8 kg) to 26.3 lb (11.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Honda Silver Wing with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 724.5 lb (328.6 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
