What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Suzuki GSX-R 1100 (reduced effect) is heavier than about 56.7% of 30 Suzuki sport-touring motorcycles with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 5.02 US gal (19 L) to 5.55 US gal (21 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 31.2 lb (14.2 kg) to 34.5 lb (15.6 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Suzuki curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every GSX-R 1100 (reduced effect).
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 17.93 hp per 100 lb to 20.16 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
