Honda Varadero 125 weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is on the lighter side for a road motorcycle. The advantage is usually most obvious while parking, maneuvering at walking speed and moving the bike around off the engine. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Honda Varadero 125 is lighter than about 77.4% of 42 Honda sport bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.44 US gal (16.8 L) to 4.68 US gal (17.7 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 27.6 lb (12.5 kg) to 29.1 lb (13.2 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Honda curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every Varadero 125.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 4.24 hp per 100 lb to 4.51 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.

Honda Varadero 125 weight FAQ

How much does the Honda Varadero 125 weigh?

The source data gives 328.5 lb (149 kg) to 335.1 lb (152 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.

How does the Honda Varadero 125 weight compare with similar Hondas?

Relatively light. On a model-level comparison, it is lighter than about 77.4% of 42 Honda sport bikes with the same weight basis.

Are all Honda Varadero 125 model years the same weight?

There are year-to-year differences in the supplied data. The earliest covered year is used as the baseline, with later changed values shown separately above.

What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Honda Varadero 125?

A full tank works out to about 27.6 lb (12.5 kg) to 29.1 lb (13.2 kg) from the listed 4.44 US gal (16.8 L) to 4.68 US gal (17.7 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.

What does the Honda Varadero 125 weigh with a 180 lb rider?

The approximate combined total is 511.8 lb (232.1 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.

Is the Honda Varadero 125 strong for its weight?

The calculated range is 4.24 hp per 100 lb to 4.51 hp per 100 lb. This ratio is usually more informative for acceleration comparisons than horsepower alone. That places it around the 17th percentile within the compatible Honda sport power-to-weight comparison.

How much heavier will the Honda Varadero 125 be than its dry weight?

Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 357.2 lb (162 kg) to 362.7 lb (164.5 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.

How much heavier is the Honda Varadero 125 with a full tank?

Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 357.2 lb (162 kg) to 362.7 lb (164.5 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.

What is the Honda Varadero 125 torque per 100 lb of bike weight?

Available data gives 2.2 lb-ft per 100 lb to 2.4 lb-ft per 100 lb. That ratio helps explain how strong the engine is relative to the bike’s mass, especially at lower speeds.
