Honda VT1300CR weight FAQ
How much does the Honda VT1300CR weigh?
The source data gives 668 lb (303 kg) to 681.2 lb (309 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.
How does the Honda VT1300CR weight compare with similar Hondas?
It is on the heavier side. Its representative dry weight is around the 77th percentile among 51 compatible Honda custom/cruiser motorcycles.
Are all Honda VT1300CR 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 VT1300CR?
A full tank works out to about 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) to 33.3 lb (15.1 kg) from the listed 4.23 US gal (16 L) to 5.36 US gal (20.3 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.
What does the Honda VT1300CR weigh with a 180 lb rider?
The approximate combined total is 854.6 lb (387.6 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.
Is the Honda VT1300CR strong for its weight?
The calculated range is 8.53 hp per 100 lb. This ratio is usually more informative for acceleration comparisons than horsepower alone. That places it around the 45th percentile within the compatible Honda custom / cruiser power-to-weight comparison.

Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 701.3 lb (318.1 kg) to 707.5 lb (320.9 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.

Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 701.3 lb (318.1 kg) to 707.5 lb (320.9 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Honda VT1300CR total weight comes from fuel?
Fuel accounts for roughly 3.9% to 5% of the available motorcycle weight figure. On lighter bikes that share can be surprisingly noticeable.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications.
