Suzuki GW250 weight FAQ
What is the Suzuki GW250 wet weight?
The supplied wet/running weight is 403 lb (182.8 kg) to 403.4 lb (183 kg) across the model years covered here. That figure is the most useful available number for real-world handling because operating fluids and fuel are included.
Is the Suzuki GW250 lighter or heavier than other Suzuki allround models?
Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 49th percentile in this model-level Suzuki comparison.
Which Suzuki GW250 years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2013-2018 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki GW250?
Based on the supplied 3.5 US gal (13.25 L) to 3.51 US gal (13.3 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 21.8 lb (9.9 kg) to 21.8 lb (9.9 kg) when full. On models with a wet/running weight, that fuel mass is already included in the listed ready-to-ride figure.
What is the combined Suzuki GW250 and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 583.2 lb (264.5 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Suzuki GW250 torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 4.02 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How large is the Suzuki GW250 engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 0.61 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
What are the lightest and heaviest Suzuki GW250 years?
Among years with usable comparable figures, 2013-2015 is the lightest at 403 lb (182.8 kg), while 2016-2018 is the heaviest at 403.4 lb (183 kg).
Where will I notice the Suzuki GW250 weight most?
Expect the weight to matter more off the throttle than at speed: garage movement, uneven footing and parking angle are the practical situations to think about.
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.
