Suzuki LS 650 P Savage weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. 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 the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Suzuki LS 650 P Savage is lighter than about 63.6% of 22 Suzuki custom/cruiser motorcycles with compatible weight data.
The listed fuel tank capacity is 2.77 US gal (10.5 L) to 2.91 US gal (11 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 17.2 lb (7.8 kg) to 18.1 lb (8.2 kg), which helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
Where both power and weight are available, the model works out to 8.5 hp per 100 lb. This makes cross-size comparisons more meaningful than raw horsepower by itself.
