It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 41st percentile among 53 compatible Honda sport-touring motorcycles.
Does the Honda VFR800F weight change by model year?

How much does the Honda VFR800F fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 5.68 US gal (21.5 L) to 5.81 US gal (22 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 35.3 lb (16 kg) to 36.1 lb (16.4 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Honda curb-weight calculation.
