Suzuki Gemma weight overview
This is firmly on the heavier side. The real penalty is not necessarily normal riding; it is low-speed work, awkward parking and moving the bike around manually. 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 Gemma weight FAQ
How heavy is the Suzuki Gemma?
Listed dry weight is 451.9 lb (205 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Is the Suzuki Gemma heavy compared with other Suzuki scooters?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 84th weight percentile in its Suzuki category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
