For the 1976 model year, the Suzuki AP 50 motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 163.1 lb (74 kg).
Suzuki AP 50 weight overview
This is a genuinely light bike. That usually makes parking, pushing it around a garage and catching small low-speed balance errors easier than on larger motorcycles. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Suzuki AP 50 weight FAQ
How much does the Suzuki AP 50 weigh?
The source data gives 163.1 lb (74 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.
What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Suzuki AP 50?
A full tank works out to about 9.9 lb (4.5 kg) from the listed 1.6 US gal (6.05 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.
What does the Suzuki AP 50 weigh with a 180 lb rider?
The approximate combined total is 343.1 lb (155.6 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.
Is the Suzuki AP 50 strong for its weight?
The calculated range is 2.94 hp per 100 lb. This ratio is usually more informative for acceleration comparisons than horsepower alone.
How much heavier will the Suzuki AP 50 be than its dry weight?
Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 173.1 lb (78.5 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.
What is the estimated Suzuki AP 50 weight with a full tank of gas?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 173.1 lb (78.5 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
What is the Suzuki AP 50 displacement per pound?
The model has about 0.3 cc per lb in the available data. This simply shows how much engine displacement there is for each pound of motorcycle weight.
Is the Suzuki AP 50 easy to move around by hand?
By scale weight it is light, so backing up, garage movement and slow-speed corrections should require less effort than on heavier bikes. Geometry still matters.
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. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Suzuki Cycles website.
