Which Honda XR 650 R years have different weight specs?

How much does a full tank add to the Honda XR 650 R?

What is the combined Honda XR 650 R and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 456.9 lb (207.2 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Honda XR 650 R power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 21.45 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.
Is the listed Honda XR 650 R weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 293.1 lb (132.9 kg) to 300.8 lb (136.4 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What does the Honda XR 650 R weigh with a full tank?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 293.1 lb (132.9 kg) to 300.8 lb (136.4 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Honda XR 650 R total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 5.8% to 7% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
