The supplied figures span 440.9 lb (200 kg) to 451.9 lb (205 kg) for wet/running weight and 379.2 lb (172 kg) for dry weight across the years in this page. Wet weight is the better guide to what you actually manage on the road.
Is the Suzuki GSX-R1000 heavy compared with other Suzuki sport bikes?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 56th percentile among 74 compatible Suzuki sport bikes.
Does the Suzuki GSX-R1000 weight change by model year?
