Suzuki GSX-R 400 weight overview
The weight is relatively manageable, so the bike should demand less effort than a heavyweight machine when backing up, parking or making slow-speed corrections. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What is the combined Suzuki GSX-R 400 and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 515.1 lb (233.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Suzuki GSX-R 400 weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 359.7 lb (163.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How much heavier is the Suzuki GSX-R 400 with a full tank?
