Suzuki Katana 600 weight overview
At this weight, footing and parking technique matter. Once moving, geometry and balance can disguise the mass, but you still have to manage the full weight at walking speed. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.
