What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Honda VF 750 C is lighter than about 61.9% of 67 Honda custom/cruiser motorcycles with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 3.43 US gal (13 L) to 3.7 US gal (14 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 21.4 lb (9.7 kg) to 23 lb (10.4 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 VF 750 C.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 15.31 hp per 100 lb to 15.5 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
